After floods Dudhwa rangers see hope in new tiger births
According to forest rangers quoted in a report in TOI, Dudhwa tiger reserve might see a surprising increase in tiger count after 17 tiger cubs less than a year old have been spotted recently. This in addition to another 10 odd cubs who are less than two years old. Though these numbers come from unconfirmed sources if true will go along way in allaying apprehensions about Dudhwa's falling fortunes. After repeated cases of man animal conflict that were reported from the area in the last couple of years, the reserve was inundated few months back after heavy rains made the rivers in the area overflow. Now with the tiger population showing signs of healthy increase the state govt and NTCA should ensure their safety.
