According to the plan, the government is looking forward to developing the country's first cheetah conservation breeding centre in Banni Grasslands Reserve, a protected land in Gujarat's Kutch. The reserve has been classified as one of the last remaining habitats of the cheetah in the country by the Wildlife Institute of India (WII). The development of the project has been started by the Gujarat forest department at war footing.

The first-of-its-kind conservation centre for big cats in India will be spread over an area of 500 hectares. It will consist of special open-to-air isolation enclosures to provide a suitable environment for the cheetah’s natural mating and counters.

The fund has been allocated under the Rs 20.5 crore Union government project taken care of by the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA).
