Plans underway for a new corridor connecting the Nallamala and Seshachalam forests

Efforts are being made to create a special corridor between Nallamala forest and Seshachalam forest to help tigers move between the two areas. Tigers have been observed traveling between the two areas in recent times. The aim is to establish a corridor that ensures the presence of tigers in Seshachalam forest. Minister for Environment and Forests, Peddireddi Ramchandra Reddy, announced this during a program at SV Zoological Park on World Tiger Day. The minister also mentioned that the tiger population in the state has increased from 45 in 2010 to over 80 now. The corridor will help protect the forest resources.
