The Daying Ering Memorial Wildlife Sanctuary, known for its unique landscape of riverine islands and grasslands, is home to several endangered species, including the wild water buffalo and the critically endangered Bengal Florican. Given its proximity to approximately 18 villages, the sanctuary is particularly vulnerable to illegal activities, such as poaching and hunting.
The recent tiger sighting highlights the ongoing challenges faced in wildlife conservation and underscores the need for heightened vigilance and community involvement to protect endangered species and their habitats. The forest department remains committed to ensuring the safety of both the tiger and the local population through continuous monitoring and strategic interventions.
