The beauty of nature increases manifold due to the free movement of wild animals. Wild animals keep reminding them of the State of coexistence while living around the common people. Nature has made Madhya Pradesh a very rich green State. Therefore, Madhya Pradesh has spared no effort in creating a wildlife-rich State by paying special attention to wildlife conservation and management.

The result is that the State has got the status of Tiger State. Now the number of leopards is also the highest in the country. In terms of number of alligators and vultures, it has come in a position to become number one at the national level. The pleasant aspect is that the Satpura Tiger Reserve has been included in the potential list of UNESCO World Heritage Site. Satpura Tiger Reserve is the ideal shelter for many wildlife including tigers and the most favorable place for breeding.

Three years ago in the year 2018, the State got the status of Tiger State with 526 tigers in the tiger census. About 60 percent of these tigers are available in tiger reserve areas and 40 percent in other forest areas. Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve has maximum 124 tigers. Based on the preliminary trends of tiger census to be held in three phases in October this year, it can be said with confidence that Madhya Pradesh will again be on top in terms of tiger Population. This number is expected to exceed 700. The name of “Kalar Kali” tigress of Pench Tiger Reserve, which has made a very special contribution in getting the status of Tiger State, also holds the unique record of highest number of deliveries and birth of cubs in the world.
