The recent death of a two-year-old male tiger in the Panna Tiger Reserve, the most critical tiger habitat in the country, raises hard hitting questions. Is the reserve running out of space for the growing number of tigers? And, what happens if the Ken-Betwa river linking project submerges a major portion of the core area of the Tiger Reserve?

3,000. That's roughly the number figure of tigers we have. It is easy to assign blame just on the farmers and poachers for their deaths. Several recent government decisions are structurally harmful to tiger reserves

The tiger is a monk. It won't bother you, or be bothered by you. It tries to maintain its composure as much as it can. Even if you are around it, it will most likely be unfazed. And even when a tiger expresses its aggression, it is mock. It's a construct.

Recently, an elephant killed its trainer in Madhya Pradesh's Panna Tiger Reserve, sending shockwaves amongst the mahouts and the rangers in the forest reserve. Read on to know more.
