Conservation of Nauradehi Tiger Reserve

Nauradehi is slated to be the country's 3rd Cheetah Site. Thus tiger conservation at Nauradehi has been integrated with Cheetah conservation giving a further boost to over all conservation efforts encompassing Rani Veerangana Durgavati Tiger Reserve. 

Nauradehi is a mixed dry deciduous forest but also encompasses extensive grasslands that is most suited habitat for the fleet footed black buck. The diverse habitats thus supports a wide range of species very few tiger reserves exhibit such amazing range in India. 

Though not very popular as a tourist destination with the introduction of tigers and the proposed introduction of Cheetah the park so far hidden away from limelight is once again regaining its lost glory. 

Veerangana Tiger Reserve of which Nauradehi is a part is managed by a field director and a DFO along with a retinue of staff ranging for deputies to forest gaurds. 

The conserving the tiger reserve is not easy as it is compounded by a number of villages in the periphery. As a programme of Project Tiger Reserve the villages are being relocated after due compensation.
