Explanation:

Recently, a four-member committee constituted by the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) has found Kumbhalgarh Sanctuary in Rajasthan as a potential tiger reserve.

After conducting a survey of the area in the last two months, the committee has found sanctuary potential as the fifth tiger reserve but also raised certain concerns.

The report suggests marking a 2053 sq km area for tiger reserve.

The reserve will be spread across four districts – Udaipur, Pali, Rajsamand and Sirohi.

It must be noted here that various factors are needed to be assessed to develop a tiger habitat, a host of things are studied, such as whether the area in past had tiger population, is the area suitable for tiger habitat and has prey base, adequate area, water, protected environment; can the tiger population survive and breed and can the area hold sustainable population.

One of the most the important thing is to ensure their safety. The Ranthambore Tiger Reserve is getting overpopulated and needs to be balanced by the relocation of big cats.

Territorial disputes are increasing in Ranthambore Tiger Reserve and in such a scenario, relocation is a good solution.
