A tigress from Bihar's Valmiki Tiger Reserve is being considered as a potential candidate to spearhead the tiger reintroduction project at West Bengal's Buxa Tiger Reserve. This initiative is a significant step towards re-establishing a healthy tiger population in the Buxa region.
The proposed relocation is part of efforts to revive the tiger presence in Buxa, which has seen a decline in recent years. The selection of a tigress from Valmiki, a well-established reserve in Bihar, suggests a strategy to ensure successful acclimatization and breeding.
This move underscores the collaborative efforts between states to conserve the endangered species. The project aims to enhance biodiversity and strengthen conservation measures within the Buxa Tiger Reserve.
