Since that year, the world has been celebrating this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to reports, the day began when Dr. Marker established December 4th as International Cheetah Day in honour of Khayam, a cheetah she reared at the Wildlife Safari she owned in Oregon. Khayam was trained for the first research project in re-wilding and inspired her first trip to Namibia in 1977. Interestingly, International Cheetah Day coincides with the day for wildlife conservation. These global days are an opportunity for people to get closer to mother nature and protect other living beings from being harmed or endangered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Timeline of crucial events:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In the 1980s, she created a programme to educate locals to preserve cheetahs instead of killing them. The Cheetah Conservation Fund, which aims to rescue the cheetah, was established in 1991.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then, on December 4, 2010, Khayam\u2019s birthday was officially recognised as International Cheetah Day for the first time. Eight cheetahs were brought to the Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh in 2022 from Namibia, an African nation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Cheetah\u2019s:<\/strong> The cheetah (a big and slender cat with long legs) is popularly known as the\u00a0fastest animal on earth,\u00a0it can reach a top speed of\u00a070 mph in just three seconds.\u00a0Cheetahs hunt during the day, unlike most other big cats, and can weigh between 46 and 158 pounds. At present the majority of the animal is found in\u00a0Namibia and South Africa.\u00a0\u00a0It was declared as an extinct animal in 1954 by the government. The Indian government has begun an initiative to introduce cheetahs to India from Namibia, where they would be housed in Madhya Pradesh\u2019s Kuno National Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gkseries.com\/blog\/a-book-brave-hearts-of-bharat-vignettes-from-indian-history-authored-by-vikram-sampath\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A book \u2018Brave Hearts of Bharat, Vignettes from Indian History\u2019 authored by Vikram Sampath<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gkseries.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/A-book-\u2018Brave-Hearts-of-Bharat-Vignettes-from-Indian-History-authored-by-Vikram-Sampath.jpg\" alt=\"A book \u2018Brave Hearts of Bharat, Vignettes from Indian History\u2019 authored by Vikram Sampath\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A book \u2018Brave Hearts of Bharat, Vignettes from Indian History\u2019 authored by Vikram Sampath:<\/strong> Brave Hearts of Bharat, Vignettes from Indian History, an anthology of 15 tales of men and women and their indomitable spirit of freedom and courage, was published by Vikram Sampath and released in Delhi.

After further consideration, it was decided to combine the Highway Flyover with the Metro Rail to form a double-decker viaduct.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Double decker viaduct carries highway flyover at the first level and Metro Rail at second level making it a three-tier transportation system with the existing highway at ground level. This assisted in avoiding additional land acquisition, saving money on land costs and cutting down on project costs and construction time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gkseries.com\/blog\/indian-skipper-rohit-sharma-becomes-6th-highest-run-scorer-for-india-in-odis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Indian skipper Rohit Sharma becomes 6th-highest run scorer for India in ODIs<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gkseries.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Indian-skipper-Rohit-Sharma-becomes-6th-highest-run-scorer-for-India-in-ODIs.jpg\" alt=\"Indian skipper Rohit Sharma becomes 6th-highest run scorer for India in ODIs\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Indian skipper Rohit Sharma becomes 6th-highest run scorer for India in ODIs:<\/strong> Indian skipper&nbsp;Rohit Sharma&nbsp;has surpassed former batter&nbsp;Mohammed Azharuddin&nbsp;to become the&nbsp;sixth-highest&nbsp;run-getter for his country in ODI cricket.
