WITH the two translocated tigers settling down at Similipal landscape, Odisha's big cat conservation looks with renewed hope in newer habitats of the state.

Chief Wildlife Warden Prem Kumar Jha on Monday said the state is optimistic about continuing with its tiger supplementation programme in Similipal and relocation programmes in other landscapes. It may take a little more time, though, he said.

Zeenat and Jamuna, relocated from Tadoba landscape of Maharashtra, have begun to settle in Similipal Tiger Reserve (STR) and their steady acclimatisation marks a significant step forward in the state's efforts to revive population of the big cats.
