Gujarat and Sikkim Join Sixth All India Tiger Census After Confirmed Presence
Gujarat and Sikkim have joined the sixth cycle of the All India Tiger Estimation (AITE) census for the first time after photographic evidence confirmed tiger presence in both states. Gujarat, which had no verified tiger records since 1989, was reinstated following the establishment of a young tiger's territory near the Gujarat-Madhya Pradesh border. The census, begun in January 2026, will conclude with a report in 2027 detailing tiger populations, habitat quality, and ecological conditions to guide future conservation efforts.
