Amrabad may emerge as tiger crown jewel of TS

Deccan Chronicle  

HYDERABAD: The last four years have been good for tigers in Telangana. Despite the setback of some going missing in the former united Adilabad district and some of them found killed by poachers, the overall numbers of tigers in the state are reported to be up from 2018, when the last All-India Tiger Census figures were released by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Sources said that the numbers in Telangana are set to go up this year, reflecting a healthy and growing tiger population, particularly in Amrabad Tiger Reserve spread over Nagarkurnool and Nalgonda districts. If past methods of calculating tiger numbers in a given forest area are any indications, it is expected that ATR could well have anywhere between 20 and 25 tigers, officially. Kawal Tiger Reserve in the former unified Adilabad district and the forest corridor areas in Telangana that connect Maharashtra’s tiger reserves to this state, had 11 confirmed tigers in 2018.
