Rajasthan Releases Orphaned Tiger Cub into Wild in First Scientific Rewilding
Rajasthan has released RVT-07, a male tiger cub rescued as an orphan from Ranthambore Tiger Reserve, into the wild at Ramgarh Vishdhari Tiger Reserve. After nearly 22 months of rehabilitation and training at Abheda Biological Park to develop survival skills, the tiger was moved to a rewilding enclosure in December 2024. Fitted with a radio collar in June 2026, RVT-07 was monitored by forest officials and experts during and after release, marking the state's first scientific rewilding of an orphaned tiger cub.
