Cubs a ray of hope in India’s fight to save tigers
"It is fantastic news and new cubs means the habitat is good and conditions ideal in Ranthambore for breeding."
- Sujoy Banerjee, WWF spokesperson
Ranthambore National Park, Rajasthan, India - Fourteen tiger cubs have been spotted in a leading Indian sanctuary, a rare piece of good news in the country's fight to protect its dwindling population of big cats from poachers and habitat destruction. The cubs have been sighted regularly over the past few weeks in Ranthambore National Park in western Rajasthan, R.N. Mehrotra, the state's chief wildlife warden, told Reuters on Tuesday.
... Park authorities have stepped up security and monitoring of the cats, and have curbed the movement of villagers in key reserves.
