Wildlife conservation efforts in Madhya Pradesh

Overview

Conservation initiatives in Madhya Pradesh have focused on expanding habitats and increasing predator populations. In the Sagar district, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav released two cheetahs, a male and a female, into the Veerangana Durgavati Tiger Reserve. This move establishes the reserve as the state’s third cheetah habitat, following Kuno National Park and Gandhi Sagar Wildlife Sanctuary. The project includes a 439-hectare secure area for quarantine and aims to boost regional wildlife tourism and local livelihoods.

Simultaneously, the tiger population in the Madhav Tiger Reserve has risen to 11 following the birth of two cubs to tigress MT3. This represents the third recorded birth since the reserve’s reintroduction program began in March 2023, bringing the total number of tigers born within the reserve to six.
