Assam Tiger Population Rises: Nameri Count Jumps From 3 to 12 as CM Himanta Biswa Sarma Highlights Success
A major landmark highlighted by Sarma is the remarkable transformation of Nameri Tiger Reserve.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma declared on Wednesday that the state has successfully established itself as an outstanding model in habitat management and wildlife protection. Reaffirming his government commitment on International Tiger Day, Sarma highlighted that steady policy measures have significantly boosted tiger numbers across the region.
The Chief Minister credited stern anti-poaching measures, active preservation of natural wildlife corridors, and high-tech surveillance systems for the consistent growth in big cat populations. These combined efforts have turned key national parks into robust sanctuaries capable of sustaining endangered Royal Bengal Tigers for generations to come.
A major landmark highlighted by Sarma is the remarkable transformation of Nameri Tiger Reserve. Through targeted environmental interventions and enhanced security monitoring, Nameri successfully quadrupled its tiger population from just three to twelve, clearly demonstrating the effectiveness of the state current wildlife conservation model.
Besides Nameri, primary conservation centers such as Kaziranga, Manas, and Orang continue to thrive as secure habitats. The state government remains focused on integrating modern technology monitoring alongside local community involvement to ensure long term ecological stability throughout these sensitive forest landscapes.
Sarma urged citizens and civil society organizations across the country to actively unite in protecting these apex predators. Sustaining healthy tiger habitats remains essential for maintaining ecological balance, safeguarding vital forest ecosystems, and ensuring environmental resilience across the entire northeastern region of India.
