There are plans to set up three tiger safari parks in Andhra Pradesh. This big move has been seen as an initiative to promote tourism in the state. P Mallikarjuna Rao, Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (PCCF) said that as per the plan, the safaris would be coming up in Kurnool, Visakhapatnam and Rajahmundry.

He inspected forest nurseries and works here on Wednesday and inaugurated new buildings. Speaking on the occasion, PCCF explained that a detailed survey was conducted on Tiger Safari Parks to protect its population and to develop them as tourist spots.

The idea behind the setting up of these reserves is to conserve tiger population in the state and also develop the region as a major tourist destination in the country.

Confusing!

3 safari park like Gujarat's 5 lion safari parks?... or they'll start safari facilities at other parks, in which case, where?

Nagarjunsagar-GundlaBrahmeswaram (same thing now) &Seshachalam etc. has potential. There was chatter on stepping up of conservation efforts at Papikonda NP. Right now there's only sporadic tiger presence in the northern forest complex of AP, but it's important that they concentrate there soon...
