West Bengal Monitors Relocated Tigress Amid Plans to Boost Buxa Tiger Population
West Bengal's Buxa Tiger Reserve is working to establish a stable tiger population by relocating tigers from Bihar and Assam. A tigress, named 'Dooars Rani,' has repeatedly escaped her enclosure and roams within the reserve and nearby Assam, prompting monitoring via radio collar and deployment of forest personnel and elephants to keep her within Buxa. Officials acknowledge her natural roaming behavior and emphasize efforts to balance her freedom with containment. The tigress recently miscarried three fetuses after relocation, raising concerns about her welfare. Authorities plan to introduce more tigers under National Tiger Conservation Authority supervision, while experts call for coordinated cross-border tracking.
