In a June 26 meeting, India's top wildlife body approved a proposal to redraw the boundaries of the critical tiger habitat (CTH) of the Sariska Tiger Reserve in Rajasthan.

- Jitendra Choubey

It involved exclusion of about 48.5 sq km area, primarily from the southern and south-western parts of the Sariska's CTH.

In compensation, the state will designate around 91 sq km as 'quality tiger habitat,' mostly in the STR's north. As a result, the CTH area will increase from 881.11 sq km to about 924 sq km, while the buffer zone shrinks from 245.72 sq km to 203.2 sq km.
