State to get second animal hospice centre for big cats

September 02, 2025

WITH the forest fringes across Wayanad, Palakkad, Idukki and northern districts reporting instances of tigers straying into villages, preying on livestock, and occasionally attacking humans, the state is all set to establish its second Animal Hospice Centre for big cats.

- SHAINU MOHAN @T'Puram

The centre, designed to house and rehabilitate eight tigers or leopards, is part of the state's efforts to address the growing challenge of human-wildlife conflict. Kerala is home to around 215 of the country's 3,700 tigers.

At present, Kerala has a single facility for big cats at Kuppady in Wayanad, established in 2021, with space for accommodating seven animals. The project, estimated at ₹1.58 crore and funded by KIIFB, is coming up near the Peruvannamoozhy forest range in Kozhikode district.
