Assam's Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma credited sustained conservation efforts, including forest expansion, habitat restoration, and protection of wildlife corridors, for this ecological recovery. Experts view the Dhole's return as a sign of improved ecosystem health and connectivity in the region.
