The Centre has brought three Chhattisgarh tiger habitats—Achanakmar, Sitanadi and Udanti—under Project Tiger. The rising number of tigers and support species of herbivores required for healthy growth of these ecosystems in the three reserves had forced the Centre to take this decision.

According to forest officials, Achanakmar has 12 big cats while Udanti has 11 and Sitanadi three. The Achanakmar reserve in Bilaspur district is spread over 550 sq km, Sitanadi in Dhamtari district over 553 sq km, and Udanti in Raipur district over an area of 237 sq km.

Principal Chief Conservator of Forests R N Mishra said that by bringing these three reserves under Project Tiger, the Government will be able to work towards better protection and conservation of forests and its wildlife.
