- The Wildlife Institute of India (WII) was entrusted to prepare a report on the increasing cases of man-animal conflict.
- In this regard, WII released a preliminary report, which is based on the recent tiger census.
- The density of tigers in the Sunderbans of West Bengal may have reached its carrying capacity.
- WII informed the West Bengal forest department that the carrying capacity in the hostile terrain is three to five tigers per 100 sq km.
- But in multiple blocks of Sunderbans, the density is more than that.
- This high density will force tigers to move out of forests in search of new areas.
- Recently, around eight tigers have entered villages in Sunderbans and all of them were captured and released into the wild.
- The WII has advised the Bengal forest department to release the captured tigers in those areas of the forest that have less density of tigers.
