Valmiki Tiger Reserve Tigress to Join Buxa Tiger Reserve on Oct 2

The Indian government has announced that a tigress from Bihar’s Valmiki Tiger Reserve will be transferred to Buxa Tiger Reserve in West Bengal on 2 October. The move is part of a broader strategy to enhance genetic diversity and strengthen the tiger population across protected areas. Buxa, known for its dense forests and high tiger density, will welcome the animal as a complement to its existing herd. Conservation officials say the transfer will involve careful veterinary checks and a gradual acclimatization process. The introduction is expected to boost the overall health of the tiger population in the region.
