Goa Opposes Tiger Book Suggestion, Mentions Lack of Citizen Tiger Populace
Panaji: The Goa government is challenging a Central Empowered Board (CEC) report recommending the alert of a tiger book in the state. In a sworn statement filed with the High court, officials labeled the record “obscure” and lacking factual or legal basis.
- Trick Opinion: Goa suggests the lack of a resident tiger population negates the requirement for a devoted reserve.
- CEC Recommendation: Phased notice, focusing on locations bordering Karnataka’s Kali Tiger Get.
- Goa’s Position: Existing secured locations sufficiently secure short-term tigers, without any requirement for a tiger book.
- Next Actions: The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear the situation on February 16
