Bihar is getting its second tiger reserve in Kaimur (Kaimur Wildlife Sanctuary), expected to be established by the end of 2023 or early 2024. The need for a second reserve arose as the Valmiki Tiger Reserve (Bihar’s 1st tiger reserve) reached its capacity to manage tigers.
Kaimur Wildlife Sanctuary, Bihar’s largest, covers Kaimur and Rohtas Districts. Established in 1979, it features diverse forest types, rare flora and fauna, and historical sites like Rohtasgarh Fort and Shergarh Fort. The government plans to convert it into a Tiger Reserve.
