Exciting news for wildlife enthusiasts! After a gap of nearly five decades, two tigers have been spotted in the Jawalagiri range of the Cauvery North Wildlife Sanctuary in Hosur, Tamil Nadu. This significant development highlights the success of ongoing conservation efforts in the region.
IAS officer Supriya Sahu took to social media platform X to share about the news. In her tweet, she wrote, “The presence of tigers in the habitat shows that the area is viable to accommodate spillover tiger populations from nearby protected areas, indicating the success of conservation efforts.”
The Jawalagiri range is situated adjacent to the newly notified Cauvery South Wildlife Sanctuary, creating a contiguous landscape of protected areas. This connectivity plays a crucial role in providing tigers with ample space to roam and thrive.
