After a two-year absence, a tiger was sighted in Debrigarh Tiger Reserve, signaling a positive trend in wildlife conservation.
In recent days, forest officials in Debrigarh Tiger Reserve reported the sighting of a tiger, the first in the area in two years.
The sighting was confirmed after a thorough survey by the Odisha Forest Department, indicating that the reserve's habitat remains conducive for large predators.
Debrigarh, located in the Sundargarh district of Odisha, has been a focus of conservation efforts, with the state government working to improve anti-poaching measures and habitat connectivity.
The Department will continue monitoring the area and may increase patrols to ensure the tiger's safety and gather data on its movements.
