JAIPUR: The Ramgarh Vishdhari sanctuary in Bundi, covering the tiger habitat between Ranthambore and Mukundra Hills in Rajasthan was on Monday notified as the country’s 52nd tiger reserve and Rajasthan fourth, after Ranthambore, Sariska and Mukundra.
“The new reserve will conserve biodiversity and bring in ecotourism and development to the area. It will facilitate dispersal of tigers from Ranthambore,” tweeted Union environment minister Bhupender Yadav.
The National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) had given in-principle approval to make Ramgarh Vishdhari a tiger reserve on July 5 last year.
