The Ramgarh Vishdhari Sanctuary in Rajasthan has been notified as India's 52nd tiger reserve.
This is Rajasthan's fourth tiger reserve after Ranthambore, Sariska and Mukundra.
The National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) had given in-principle approval to make Ramgarh Vishdhari Wildlife Sanctuary and adjoining areas a tiger reserve on July 5 last year.
The floristic diversity of this new tiger reserve makes it an important area for research and education.
Wild animals like Indian wolf, leopard, striped hyena, sloth bear, golden jackal, chinkara, nilgai and fox can be seen in the Ramgarh Vishdhari Tiger Reserve.
According to "Status of Tigers in India" report released in 2019, there are 2,967 tigers in 20 states across the country.
