NTCA Gives In-Principle Nod to Resume Satkosia Tiger Re-introduction

Key Details

• The earlier translocation programme had stalled in 2018 after the death of one tiger and conflict involving another.
• Before revival, recommendations include voluntary village relocation, prey augmentation, creation of inviolate spaces, staff capacity-building and stronger protection.
• The State Forest Department must assess conditions before seeking final approval for actual translocation.
