Indore Marks World Tiger Day 2025 with Conservation Efforts and Tree Plantation Drive

On World Tiger Day (July 29, 2025), Umrikheda Eco Park in Indore hosted a discussion on tiger conservation. The event, attended by local authorities and wildlife experts, emphasized the need for better protection of tigers and their habitats in Madhya Pradesh.

P.N. Mishra, Chief Conservator of Forests (CCF), and Pradeep Mishra, Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) of Indore, led the discussions. They highlighted the increasing threats tigers face due to poaching, habitat loss, and human-wildlife conflict. They also pointed out the importance of protecting tiger corridors, which allow tigers to safely move between forests.

The event also included a tree plantation drive, where participants planted saplings to help restore natural habitats. Experts noted that preserving green spaces and planting native trees are vital for maintaining biodiversity and supporting tiger populations in the region.

Madhya Pradesh remains a critical region for tiger conservation. The state is home to over 30% of India’s tiger population and continues to see steady increases in tiger numbers. The latest tiger census (2023) recorded a rise in tiger numbers in the state, marking positive progress in conservation efforts. However, challenges like poaching, habitat encroachment, and human-wildlife conflict continue to threaten tiger populations.

Indore’s proximity to key tiger reserves, including Kanha, Pench, and Satpura, places the city at the center of conservation activities in the state. The Indore Forest Division has focused on improving connectivity between protected areas and minimizing human-wildlife conflict, ensuring safer environments for tigers.

While the tiger population in Madhya Pradesh has grown, experts stress the need for continued vigilance. Efforts are ongoing to enhance the enforcement of anti-poaching laws and reduce human-wildlife conflicts. Local communities also play a crucial role by participating in conservation programs and helping spread awareness.
