Tiger Corridor in Jalgaon Unprotected Despite Tiger Presence

Tiger Corridor in Jalgaon Unprotected Despite Tiger Presence
Jalgaon: Tiger Corridor Remains Unprotected Despite Confirmed Tiger Presence · freepressjournal.in

In Jalgaon district, there are tigers moving around, but the government and Forest Department are not doing enough to protect their habitat.

There's a special path called a corridor that connects different wildlife areas, and it's important for the tigers to move safely.

Even though the government said they would make this area a protected place called a sanctuary, they haven't done it yet.

Some people who care about wildlife are trying to make this happen, but the government is not listening.

It's like having a playground for kids but not putting up a fence to keep them safe.
