Following establishing the Valmiki Tiger Reserve in West Champaran, Bihar will soon have its second tiger reserve in the Kaimur district. The central government has taken a significant step toward wildlife conservation by granting in-principle approval for Bihar’s second tiger reserve in Kaimur district. This vital decision comes in response to a proposal from the Bihar government to transform the Kaimur Wildlife Sanctuary (KWLS) into a designated tiger reserve. The state’s Forest, Environment, and Climate Change Minister, Prem Kumar, confirmed this exciting development, underscoring the commitment to preserving our rich biodiversity for future generations.
