Chhattisgarh's Roaring Success: Tiger Population Doubles in Three Years

The tiger population in Chhattisgarh has witnessed a remarkable increase, doubling from 17 to 35 over the past three years, according to officials. This surge has been hailed by Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai as a testament to the state's diligent conservation efforts, which hold high priority for his government.

The announcement came during the 15th Chhattisgarh State Wildlife Welfare Board meeting. With four tiger reserves, efforts include translocating more tigers and enhancing habitats to boost tourism and generate employment.
