Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other as Reason (R):
Assertion (A) - 12 Cheetahs arrived from South Africa to India in February, 2023.
Reason (R) - Restoring Cheetah population is considered to be a priority for India.
Select the correct answer using the code given below -
Code -
Explanation
Assertion (A) is correct. On February 18, 2023, 12 cheetahs (7 males and 5 females) arrived in India from South Africa and were released into the Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh. This was the second batch of cheetahs brought to India, following the 8 cheetahs from Namibia in September 2022.
Reason (R) is also correct. The Government of India has launched "Project Cheetah," the world's first intercontinental large wild carnivore translocation project. The primary goal is to re-establish the cheetah in its historical range in India (where it was declared extinct in 1952) to restore grassland ecosystems and promote biodiversity conservation. Because restoring the population is a national conservation priority, the government actively facilitated the arrival of these animals. Thus, (R) is the logical explanation for (A).
