"nothing to see here, move along"?
Pretty much
Its alarming in more than one sense. They can survive in grasslands that are relative less in india nowadays. Due to 20th century laws.
Secondly and main reason the death of cheetahs ia climate change made weather so unpredictably chaotic to extremes. India have cold to extreme, rain to extreme and heat will melt stones soon.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
NEW DELHI, Aug 8 (Reuters) - India is taking steps to ensure the wellbeing of cheetahs brought from southern Africa, the government has told the Supreme Court, as concerns rise over the deaths of the world's fastest land animal re-introduced into India after 70 years.
Six adult cheetahs out of the 20 imported from South Africa and Namibia in September last year and February 2023 have died since March.
Of those six, a female cheetah from Namibia died of an infection from a maggot infestation at the Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh last week.
The deaths have raised questions about the management of the ambitious project, championed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, with conservationists petitioning the Supreme Court over the animals' wellbeing.
The government told the top court on Monday that the project has had its challenges but the deaths did not call for alarm, according to an advocate who was present at the hearing.
Conservation biologist Dr. Laurie Marker, founder of the Cheetah Conservation Fund and an adviser to the project, told Reuters that the loss of some cheetahs was to be anticipated in this unique experiment, saying, "reintroductions are a hard ask".

It is alarming that the government says this.
