On the occasion of International Tiger Day, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma stated that the state has expanded its wildlife reserves by combating encroachment. He claims that the state has the third-highest density of tigers worldwide. Sarma claims that in addition to protecting tigers, Assam is reclaiming its kingdom. “With the world’s 3rd highest tiger density, expanded reserves and bold action against encroachment, the striped beasts of Assam continue to roam with power and pride,” he stated.
According to Environment and Forest Minister Chandra Mohan Patowary, the state is a leader in tiger conservation because of its abundant biodiversity and famous tiger reserves like Kaziranga, Manas, Orang, and Nameri. “Through strict anti-poaching measures, habitat restoration, and involvement of local stakeholders, Assam ensures the tiger’s roar continues to echo through its wild landscapes,” he stated.
