The declaration of conservation reserves by the Forest Department seems to be helping the wildlife as, once again, a tiger has been spotted at Tilari Conservation Reserve in Konkan. 

Talking to mid-day, Chief Conservator of Forest (CCF) of Kolhapur V Clement Ben said, "Full-fledged management is not implemented in Tillari Conservation Reserve as of now as the process of drafting the management plan is on. Once it’s ratified by the state-level steering committee, full-time monitoring shall start. Currently around 10 infrared camera traps are positioned to monitor the mammals there."
