The monitoring identified 14 individual tigers, five each in Manas Tiger Reserve in India and Royal Manas National Park and four being common to both parks.
Lyonpo Pema Gyamtsho congratulated the Department of Forests of both the governments and partners including WWF, Arranyak, ATREE and Bhutan Foundation for this ‘valuable initiative’ to conserve wildlife in the trans-boundary landscape in Manas (India and Bhutan).
