The Katerniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary, once considered a lost cause, has become a beacon of wildlife conservation success. Ramesh Pandey, a 1996-batch senior Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer, highlights the remarkable revival of tigers in the sanctuary, showcasing a dramatic recovery from declining numbers to a thriving population today.

He posted on X, “Katerniaghat was written off by the experts when I joined there in 2005. In 4 years of work, tiger count reached to 35. Today there are 60+ tigers.”

A recent video shared by DFO Shiva Shankar highlights the sanctuary’s transformation. The footage, taken in the Sujauli range, reveals a thriving tiger habitat that was formerly a seed farm. This area, once neglected and repurposed, has been revitalized into a suitable environment for tigers, showcasing the significant impact of dedicated conservation efforts.

Mr Pandey also shared a story link on success story of Katerniaghat, done by Indian Masterminds. He wrote, “Here is a story on Katerniaghat; where rare is common. From archives.”
