Beyond Zeenat: Inside Odisha’s next tiger translocation move
Odisha's wildlife department has begun the second phase of tiger translocation to Similipal Tiger Reserve (STR). Two tigresses were successfully brought from Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR) and now a male and female tiger will be relocated from Central India. This is to diversify the gene pool and reduce inbreeding in the isolated population of pseudo-melanistic tigers in Similipal.
