Overview

• The 2024 census confirms a record 54 leopards in the 104 sq km park, up from 35 in 2015.
• Work is underway on a continuous boundary wall around all four sides of the park to block leopard forays into nearby communities.
• A new patrol road, CCTV installations and satellite monitoring will bolster wildlife surveillance and rapid response.
• Fruit-tree planting and prey management measures aim to strengthen the park’s ecosystem and discourage leopards from roaming beyond its limits.
• Authorities will relocate about 2,000 tribal families from 22 settlements to 90 acres at Aarey Colony outside the park to enhance safety and conservation efforts.
