India to get cheetahs from Namibia [1]

If not Iranian, then it's got to be African cheetahs. The Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) is presently working on getting wild Namibian cheetahs to India to repopulate Indian forests with the cheetah, which went extinct from India since 1967. The Namibian plan comes after Iran turned down a request by India for a pair of cheetahs.
