It is called the 'International Big Cat Alliance', where of course the animals in question are not placid, 15-kilo tabby cats, but the big cats of the international savannahs and jungles. And it is almost certain that Kenya will also join it, although it is not clear whether this will be good or bad.
Let's run through the story a bit.
The organisation to save the seven big cat species (lion, tiger, leopard, cheetah, puma, jaguar panther and snow leopard) was set up by India, which has as many as five of them in its territory (the puma and jaguar are missing from the list), but which are all at serious risk of extinction, due to the well-known ills of our planet: climate change and overpopulation leading to conflicts between man and animals.

The Indian government, in order not to lose its precious felines, which also feed a good domestic tourism (Indians are many, millions to a billion) has decided to involve nations that have other four-legged predators. On paper, the intent is noble: "This is an initiative to address transboundary conservation issues, as the preservation of big cats also involves the conservation of ecosystems in the 96 countries where the big cats are found. It is also a diplomatic initiative, showcasing India's power of persuasion. That is why India has initiated this alliance along with other climate alliances that are already taking significant steps,' a senior official of the environment ministry in Dehli said on Friday.

The 'power of persuasion', at least as far as Kenya is concerned, is the gimmick of a handsome entry 'fee', a gift in doubloons for joining the alliance that may entice developing countries or countries with failing economies to have the ferocious kitty cats to pamper within their borders.
In fact, in addition to Kenya, Ethiopia, Ecuador, Mongolia, Nigeria, Peru, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, Egypt, Armenia and Malaysia are expected to join.
A budget of USD 18 million has been approved for Kenya just to sit at the IBCA table.

But joining the alliance also means participating in the so-called 'cheetah project': yes, because the noble intent has set its sights on Kenya because cheetahs are disappearing in India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has reached a draft agreement to bring a number of specimens from the African country to India to breed and repopulate its parks and forests.

"India has also successfully translocated a big cat species from one continent to another through the Cheetah Project. All these experiences will be useful for India to drive the big cat conservation programme,' Modi explained recently, after Kenyan President William Ruto's official visit to Dehli. 'We will be able to strengthen global efforts for big cat conservation,' said Ruto.
All happy, in short. Too bad we cannot also ask the people concerned whether they prefer gazelle and antelope or zebra in their natural state or the ever so slightly spicy meats of Madras and Gujarat.
