Madhya Pradesh to Reintroduce Wild Buffaloes from Assam After 150 Years

Madhya Pradesh is reviving its wild buffalo population by bringing 50 animals, each weighing around 500 kg, from Assam's Kaziranga National Park to the Kanha Tiger Reserve (KTR). This marks the species' return to the state after 150 years. Officials noted that buffalo numbers in neighboring Chhattisgarh are low, and the eastern part of KTR offers suitable habitat and fodder. The first four buffaloes are currently en route and will be quarantined before release.
