Take a guided virtual journey through two of India’s most famous Bengal tiger reserves, Kanha and Bandhavgarh national parks. These sanctuaries are part of the Central India Tiger Landscape, which spans eight states and is home to more than a quarter of the world's remaining wild tigers. Join this webinar to find out how this vast network of protected refuges connected by wildlife corridors has helped protect these endangered big cats. Expedition Leader Aditya Panda will lead you through a typical day on safari in Kanha and Bandhavgarh, offering insights into what it’s like to experience these renowned tiger havens firsthand. Aditya will share interesting anecdotes from his more than 15 years of field experience across these rich habitats, along with insights into this renowned region’s vibrant natural history. You’ll learn interesting Indian wildlife trivia and also gain a greater understanding of the conservation challenges facing wild tigers. While some preservation policies have successfully increased India’s tiger populations, habitat fragmentation remains one of the greatest threats to tigers, since these far-ranging predators rely on continuous travel corridors for survival.
