In a significant boost for wildlife conservation in western Maharashtra, India, the Radhanagari Wildlife Sanctuary has recorded the presence of two new adult male tigers, identified as STR-07 and STR-08. This brings the total tiger count in the sanctuary to ten, including seven males and three females. The identification was confirmed through regular forest patrols and camera traps, which showed that both tigers occupy distinct territories within the sanctuary. Wildlife experts view this development as a positive indicator of habitat connectivity and conservation success in the Sahyadri tiger reserve. Rohan Bhate, an honorary wildlife warden, noted the importance of the corridor connecting Sawantwadi–Dodamarg to Radhanagari for facilitating tiger movement, which is crucial for maintaining genetic diversity. Tushar Chavan, field director of the Sahyadri tiger reserve, emphasized that the increasing tiger population is a testament to effective conservation measures. The forest department is intensifying monitoring efforts to track the tigers' movements and behaviors while ensuring community safety and mitigating human-wildlife conflict.
