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. Reply
