Telangana’s Amarabad sees more Tigers, yet faces grazing, encroachment, and staff shortage

Amarabad Tiger Reserve in Telangana faces escalating threats from illegal cattle grazing, disrupting prey availability for tigers. Fishing nets in the Krishna River impede tiger movement, while significant staff vacancies and encroachment further strain conservation efforts. Promoting local Chenchu community members to fill frontline roles and addressing uneven prey density are crucial for the reserve’s future.
