Madhya Pradesh: 19 swamp deer brought from Kanha National Park and released into the enclosures at Magadhi Zone in Bandhavgarh

Madhya Pradesh: 19 swamp deer brought from Kanha National Park and released into the enclosures at Magadhi Zone in Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve on 26th March.

The Centre has permitted us to bring 100 swamp deer, with 50 in the first year. So, today 19 of them have been brought – 11 males and 8 females. We have made an enclosure here, that is carnivore-proof. No carnivorous animal can go in. We have elephants too & we have made arrangements to see that the elephants don’t damage the enclosure: Sudhir Misha, Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve.
