Tiger Spotted in Seshachalam Hills After Almost a Century
A tiger has been spotted in the Seshachalam hills after almost 100 years!
This is great news for the environment.
Conservation efforts have helped the tiger return.
The tiger likely came from a nearby large tiger reserve, which has lots of tigers.
Officials are working to help tigers move safely through the area and avoid cars on roads.
The government is supporting these efforts with money and planning.
The return of the tiger is seen as a sign that the forest is healthy.
A tiger was spotted in the Seshachalam hills, confirmed by trap camera images.
The sighting suggests the tiger is returning to a habitat it abandoned nearly a century ago.
Forest officials are working with NSTR to create safe passages for tigers.
The tiger population in NSTR has increased, leading to dispersal.
The government is supporting the conservation efforts.
