The Telangana State Board for Wildlife, during its meeting on Tuesday, has approved a proposal by the Forest Department to declare the corridor area between Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve and Kawal Tiger Reserve as a conservation reserve.
The proposals will soon be sent to the Union Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change. Once the process is completed, the 1,492-square kilometre area in Kagaznagar and Asifabad divisions will be a conservation reserve, with increased protection and conservation measures.
A proposal for a bison sanctuary in Sathupally and Kinnerasani forests too was discussed in the meeting, as the number of the animals has increased in the region.
