|November 29, 2025
The formal work for the tiger census commenced in West Bengal’s Sundarbans mangrove forest on Thursday as Forest Department officials began installing a network of more than 1,400 trap cameras to capture images of the Royal Bengal Tigers.
The cameras will be strategically placed in various areas, particularly canal-adjacent spots, with an aim to collect precise scientific data on the big cat population, a senior forest department official said.
Photographs captured by these all-weather night-vision cameras will be sent to Dehradun for image analysis, a crucial step in deriving the final census figure in the Sundarbans.
The Sundarbans, West Bengal’s mangrove forest and home to the Royal Bengal Tiger, will remain closed to tourists on 11 and 12 December as the forest department undertakes its tiger census.
