Tigers (Scientific Name – Panthera Tigris) are icons of beauty, power, and the importance of conservation of nature. India has always valued the importance of nature and it is in the country’s tradition to conserve animals and to give them their natural habitat to thrive. On similar lines, NTCA (National Tiger Conservation Authority) has given the nod to Ramgarh Vishdhari Sanctuary of Rajasthan for the Tiger Reserve. It will be the 4th Tiger reserve for the state after Ranthambore, Sariska, and Mukundra tiger reserves and 52nd for the nation.
The Ramgarh Vishdhari Sanctuary will extend support to the increasing number of tigers in Ranthambore. The Tigers will be shifted in the new Tiger reserve to stabilize the increasing fight between the tigers for the resources in Ranthambore.
