Phibsoo Wildlife Sanctuary records signs of breeding tigers for the first time
2022 Cat News (76): 45
We report the presence of breeding tigers for the first time in Phibsoo Wildlife Sanctuary PWS, as evidenced by the photographic records of two lactating females following a photographic capture-recapture survey. Given the inviolate space to secure breeding populations and its strategic location in maintaining landscape-wide connectivity, PWS is a small yet, potential stronghold for tigers. Conservation investments must prioritize critical tiger habitats like PWS for sustained protection in securing breeding populations backed by a robust scientific monitoring approach.
