In a bid to boost tiger numbers in the Radhangari Wildlife Sanctuary officials have submitted a proposal to the Maharashtra Forest Department to consider the translocation of a female tiger from the Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve landscape to Radhanagari Wildlife Sanctuary, in the northern Western Ghats.

In a letter addressed to Chief Wildlife Warden M S Reddy, Honorary Wildlife Warden Rohan Bhate highlighted that while the Sahyadri Tiger Reserve (STR) currently has seven tigers — four males and three translocated females. Meanwhile, Radhanagari has recorded three male tigers, with no tigress captured on camera.
