Tigress Released in Buxa Explores Wider Area Amid Local Protests Over Resettlement
A three-year-old tigress released into Buxa Tiger Reserve in early October has been exploring a wide area, including parts of Assam, following natural instincts, according to West Bengal Forest Minister Manoj Kumar Oraon. The Forest Department is monitoring her movements and has not yet decided on tranquilizing her. The reintroduction aims to revive tiger presence in Buxa, which lacked confirmed sightings for decades. Meanwhile, local villagers near the reserve are protesting for resettlement and compensation amid the conservation efforts.
