The Issue

Bhimagad is tiger corridor between Sahyadri and Kali Tiger Reserve. Its home to tigers,adjacent to it mahadayi wildlife sanctuary which is also home for big cats. We need protection measures for these animals. Announcing it as tiger reserve and improving ecotourism help for both locals and animals. Currently Bandipur and Kabini are overpopulated in terms of tiger population. Kali,Bhadra,Bhimagad,Mahadayi,Bhagavan Mahaveer,Radhanagari,Sahyadri are going to be new home for them.There is high chance of attracting tourists for safari, ecotourism will generate employment to people nearby. Conserving tigers is equals to conserving river. By conserving tigers we can conserve an entire ecosystem,entire forest where a river originates. Bhimagad is the place where Mahadayi,Malaphrabha and other streams originate. For the betterment of this ecosystem and subsequently humankind kindly sign this petition in order to communicate this to the forest department and NTCA https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/born-in-yavatmal-sanctuary-tiger-travels-500-km-to-solapur-district-23451988 https://www.heraldgoa.in/News-Today/Goa-delays-declaration-of-Mhadei-Wildlife-Sanctuary-as-Tiger-Reserve/217921 https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/hubballi/tiger-population-increases-to-12-in-bhimgad-reserve-forest/amp_articleshow/62193458.cms https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/new-tiger-spotted-in-dodamarg-experts-confirm-presence-of-8/articleshow/120067661.cms
