BUXA TIGER RESERVE (BTR)

Dec. 13, 2021

An increase in the forest density and the big cat prey base, especially deer, had attracted a Royal Bengal tiger, a first such sighting in 23 years, to the Buxa Tiger reserve.

About:

  • They believed that a favourable habitat at the tiger reserve would invite more tigers, which had migrated to neighbouring Bhutan. The state shares a contiguous range of the protected area with Bhutan.

  • The forest department shared a camera trap picture of the tiger spotted at the East Damanpur range of the tiger reserve.
