Chhattisgarh Launches Campaign to Save Its Last Wild Buffaloes

Wild buffaloes in Chhattisgarh are now among the most endangered species in India, with only a few dozen individuals left in the wild. In response, the state government has unveiled a comprehensive conservation strategy that includes habitat restoration, anti‑poaching patrols, and community engagement programs. The plan also seeks to establish protected corridors linking fragmented populations to enhance genetic diversity. Officials say the initiative will be implemented over the next five years, with regular monitoring to assess progress and adjust tactics as needed.
