Tadoba set to get extra security and area
With Maharashtra having signed the tripartite agreement with NTCA and Centre the first step towards increased protection of big cats was approved with the state govt sending a detailed plan to centre for approval reports DNA. The plan includes acquisition of around 1000 sq kms of land outside the buffer zone and hiring another 50 forest guards to protect the sanctuary. It is worth noting that area around Tadoba has been in news for the last few years. Initially for human-animal conflict cases and in recent times for abandoned tiger cubs being found with regularity indicating poaching or killing by poisoning of their mothers.
