There are three more may join the club in near future.


First is Ranipur Wildlife Sanctuary (<map) in Chitrakut district of Uttar Pradesh(UP), only one in the state in Central India landscape. Proposal has already been sent.

Right now it's basically a sink for increasing number of tigers in Panna. (crossed 40 recently). At only about 250 km² it's just expected to be a buffer like Amangarh TR.
The MP & UP gifts are planning on creating and maintaining a viable corridor for dispersing tigers from Panna to Ranipur.
The Mahaveer Swami Wildlife Sanctuary (<map) would be developed to try & join Panna to Madhav NP & Kuno.

Second is Derbigarh Wildlife Sanctuary (<map) in Odisha. After Satkosia is stabilised there are plans to concentrate on Debrigarh. Once a major tiger habitat, it lies on the corridor between Simlipal/Satkosia & rest of Central Indian tiger populations.

The third candidate is ofcourse Nauradehi Wildlife Sanctuary.
With already a tiger mating pair there relocated & another arrived naturally from Panna, Nauradehi is to be declared a Tiger Reserve on reaching a viable number of breeding adults.

Strategically placed in between atleast 6 thriving tiger habitats Nauradehi might be the key to connecting them to each other.

Good to hear that those forests are still connected with corridors.by declaring the forests as tiger reserve,we secured large habitats for those wide ranging animalas.

Proposal for another two tiger reserves also under consideration.

There is a proposal to create a dedicated Tiger reserve in Goa, which will form a contiguous buffer with the Kali Tiger Reserve in karnataka and fairly connected with sahyadri tiger reserve in maharshtra.presence of at least five tigers were confirmed in the recent census in goa.

The proposal recommended the conversion of Goa's four wildlife sanctuaries - Mhadei Wildlife Sanctuary, Bhagwan Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary and mollem National Park, Netravali Wildlife Sanctuary, Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary- into (765 sq km)one contiguous tiger reserve along the border with karnataka and maharshtra extended upto the sea level.The area forms cruital part of the 10,800sq km sahyadri konkan corridor.

The second is mm hills-cauvery wildlife sanctuary in karnataka. 
The 906 sqkm MM hills and 1027 sq km cauvery wildlife sanctuaries are a part of single landscape which includes BRT tiger reserve, Bannerghatta National Park, Satymangalam tiger reserve and north Cauvery wildlife sanctuary in Tamil Nadu.
