Ranthambore Tiger Reserve Key for India's Conservation
The National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) has recognized Ranthambore Tiger Reserve in Rajasthan as one of India's most important places for tiger conservation.
This reserve has a strong population of tigers that can naturally spread to other areas.
The NTCA's report from June 2026 outlines a plan to protect and grow tiger populations across India up to 2047.
Ranthambore is the only reserve in northwestern India with this important role.
The reserve has a high density of tigers and supports many other animals that tigers eat.
Tigers from Ranthambore have already started moving to nearby forests, helping to repopulate them.
The NTCA wants to keep strengthening places like Ranthambore and help tigers return to areas where they have disappeared.
Ranthambore Tiger Reserve is recognized as a key source for tiger conservation in India.
The NTCA's 2026 report outlines a conservation strategy up to 2047.
Ranthambore has a tiger density of 9.6 per 100 square kilometers.
Tigers from Ranthambore are naturally dispersing to nearby forests like Kuno National Park.
The NTCA plans to strengthen source reserves and reintroduce tigers to low-density areas.
