Baripada: The groundwork for the All-India Tiger Census 2026 is officially underway in Similipal, recognized as the second-largest biosphere reserve in Asia.
Recently, a preparatory meeting took place at the Similipal Tiger Reserve (STR) office, bringing together specialists from the Wildlife Institute of India (WII) and officials from the Forest Department.
This nationwide tiger census, which occurs every four years, will span six months.
