Two decades ago, tigers had been poached out of existence in Sariska Tiger Reserve. They were later re-introduced through a complicated translocation process. Now they face a renewed threat: mining
Sariska's tiger population went from zero to 31, thanks to a wild to wild tiger translocation program. From 2008 to 2013, 10 tigers were translocated from Ranthambore to Sariska. Subsequently, cubs were born in this forest, and the translocation is still ongoing.
Sloth Bear is a key species of the hills and mountains of the semi-arid region of western India. It is listed in the 'vulnerable' category by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
