(Dharshini.G, Intern journalist) NEW DELHI: 33% of the nation’s 50 tiger reserves, including Nagarhole in Karnataka and Mudumalai in Tamil Nadu, are at or approaching the maximum limit and should now concentrate on protection and decrease of human effect on the tigers, as per the Tiger Status Report by the National Tiger Conservation Authority.
In the 17 tiger reserves that are at or approaching carrying capacity, extra effort to increase tiger numbers isn’t needed; simple continuation of protection and decrease of human effect would get the job done, the report says.
As many as 19 tiger reserves are still beneath the maximum limit. With interests in protection acts and prey thickness, tiger numbers are probably going to increase. Nine other tiger saves require interventions as intense protections and interests in reestablishing prey and habitat.
