There has been a major increase in the number of tigers in Sariska as their strength has reached 40 with tigress ‘ST 22’ giving birth to four cubs, the chief minister said.

Sharing the video of the cubs, he said the fourth cub of tigress ‘ST 12’ was also captured in the camera trap and added that three of her cubs were spotted in March. He said after the rehabilitation of tigers in 2008, tigress ‘ST 12’ gave birth for the first time.

“Our government is fully committed to the conservation of the tiger, the symbol of speed and power, and to maintain a balanced ecosystem for them,” he added in his post.

The Sariska Sanctuary is spread over 1,213.34 square kilometres in the Aravalli Hills, the oldest mountain range in the world.

There were no tigers left in Sariska in 2005. To revive the tiger population here, a tiger rehabilitation programme was started in 2008 by bringing two tigers and tigresses from the Ranthambore National Park in Sawai Madhopur district.

Apart from tigers, Sariska also has a large population of leopards and other wild animals.
