Some fascinating news on species recovery from Tamil Nadu’s mountains. Nilgiri Tahr numbers are rising. The latest synchronized survey has estimated 1,364 Tahrs in Tamil Nadu, up from 1,303 in 2025 and 1,031 in 2024, a powerful sign that conservation and habitat restoration efforts across the Western Ghats are working. Over four days, 858 field personnel surveyed 177 habitat blocks across 14 forest divisions, trekking more than 3,200 km through rugged mountain terrain. For the first time, the Varudai mobile app was used, bringing technology and science together for more effective monitoring. A big salute to our forest frontline staff, scientists, researchers, local communities and conservation partners who are helping us in one of India’s most inspiring wildlife recovery projects. #ProjectNilgiriTahr #TNForest video @supriyasahuias
