# Authorities in India’s Kuno National Park have reinstated a forest worker who was suspended after he was seen offering water to a cheetah and her cubs in a viral video. Satyanarayan Gurjar said he could see the cheetahs were thirsty but violated instructions which said only authorised personnel could go near the big cats. Cheetahs were declared extinct in India in 1952 but were reintroduced in Kuno in 2022. India is expected to receive 20 more cheetahs from South Africa this year.
