D. Radhakrishnan
Udhagamandalam: The six-day wildlife census with focus on tigers began on Saturday.
Chief Wildlife Warden R. Sundararaju told The Hindu at Kotagiri on Sunday that five tigers had been sighted in the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve. He said that one tiger was sighted in the Kalakad Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve and pug marks were seen at many places.
“In Mudumalai and adjoining areas like Bandipur, Nagerhole and Sathyamangalam, we expect the tiger population to be about 280,” he said.
Mr. Sundararaju said that all the tiger reserves which have been closed for facilitating the conduct of the census, would re-open on February 27.
Pointing out that it would take about ten days to compile the data, he said that it would be sent to the Wildlife Institute of India.
