Bringing Cheetah back to India by Prashant Agarwal is a must read even if you disagree with the decision to bring the African Cheetah to the heart of India (Kuno National Park)

It’s written with a personal touch on a professional project which has kept so many people on their toes day in and day out. Meetings, endless diplomatic conversations and working tirelessly towards the main goal, to rewrite historical loss and modify it into a win.  From ecological POV, only time will tell whether this decision is good or not but it does not reverse the fact that India is ready to reclaim its lost species.  For seventy years, India endured the absence of the cheetah, which had been hunted to extinction and erased from its grasslands. Bringing the world's fastest land animal back to the country would require much more than scientific research or conservation programmes. It would require the vision and leadership and maneuvering a world of diplomatic equations, alliances and high-stakes negotiations across continents. This book for the first time narrates the human drama behind one of conservation's most ambitious experiments. From high offices in Namibia to fast-paced action in New Delhi, Bringing the Cheetah Back to India tells the story of how nations joined hands in a race against time to resurrect a ghost, restore an ecosystem and rewrite the rules of rewilding itself.
