He made the remarks in a post on X, underlining the significance of coordinated action to safeguard the species and its habitat.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sarma described India\u2019s broader tiger conservation strategy as \u201ca remarkable success\u201d and credited Assam\u2019s contribution to that outcome. He pointed to rigorous anti-poaching operations, active preservation of wildlife corridors and the adoption of technology-driven surveillance as key measures that have strengthened protection for tigers across the state.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Chief Minister said Assam\u2019s wild tiger population has shown steady growth over the past few years, singling out Nameri Tiger Reserve as a major conservation achievement. According to Sarma, Nameri\u2019s tiger numbers have risen four-fold, increasing from three to 12 animals, a change he presented as evidence of effective local management and protection efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sarma also highlighted the role of other protected areas \u2014 Kaziranga, Manas and Orang, alongside Nameri \u2014 in providing secure habitats for the Royal Bengal Tiger, stressing that a network of well-managed reserves and corridors is essential to the species\u2019 long-term survival.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reaffirming the government\u2019s commitment to wildlife conservation, he called for sustained collective effort from officials, frontline staff, local communities and conservation partners to protect the apex predator and preserve the ecological balance of the region.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
