In a remarkable conservation initiative, Tigress ‘Jamuna’ has journeyed 900 kilometers from Maharashtra’s Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR) to the Simlipal Tiger Reserve in Odisha. This strategic relocation aims to enrich Simlipal’s tiger gene pool, fostering genetic diversity crucial for the species’ survival and resilience.
Jamuna is currently in a specially designed soft enclosure, where she is adapting to her new environment before her eventual release into the wild. Wildlife officials and conservationists see this move as a major step in securing a sustainable future for India’s tiger population, with Jamuna expected to contribute significantly to the genetic health of the Simlipal tigers.
