Guru Ghasidas-Tamor Pingla Tiger Reserve
Context
Chhattisgarh has approved the Guru Ghasidas-Tamor Pingla Tiger Reserve to combat the decline in its tiger population. Covering 2,829 sq km, this reserve merges Guru Ghasidas National Park and Tamor Pingla Wildlife Sanctuary.
About Guru Ghasidas-Tamor Pingla Tiger Reserve
- Spanning 2,829 sq km, it merges the Guru Ghasidas National Park and Tamor Pingla Wildlife Sanctuary.
- It is the third largest tiger reserve in India, located in four northern districts: Manendragarh-Chirmiri-Bharatpur, Koriya, Surajpur, and Balrampur.
- This new reserve aims to enhance tiger conservation by providing a contiguous habitat to support the survival and growth of tiger populations.
- Reason behind the move: Chhattisgarh’s tiger population fell from 46 in 2014 to 17 in 2022, prompting this initiative. Currently, Chhattisgarh has three tiger reserves —
- Indravati in Bijapur district
- Udanti-Sitanadi in Gariaband
- Achanakmar in Mungeli
- Comparison:
- Largest: Nagarjunasagar Srisailam Tiger Reserve, Andhra Pradesh – 3,296.31 sq km
- Second Largest: Manas Tiger Reserve, Assam – 2,837.1 sq km
