Bihar to Establish Second Tiger Reserve in Kaimur District
After the Valmiki Tiger Reserve (VTR) in West Champaran district, Bihar is set to get a second tiger reserve in Kaimur district (Kaimur Wildlife Sanctuary) by the end of the year or early 2024. The total tiger count in the State currently is 54.
The upcoming tiger reserve in Kaimur district will complement the existing Valmiki Tiger Reserve (VTR) located in the West Champaran district of Bihar. This expansion reflects the state's commitment to safeguarding its rich wildlife heritage. The establishment of a second tiger reserve signifies a proactive approach to protect and conserve the majestic big cats and their habitat.
