Wildlife sanctuaries and national parks, including Ranthambhore national park, will now be connected with each other through a corridor. The corridor will provide a safe passage to wild animals and reduce chances of tigers straying from the core area which often resulted into incidents of poaching and killing of big cats.
The state cabinet approved the proposal at a meeting held on Wednesday. The government will forward the proposal to the Union Ministry of Forest and Environment for final approval. The corridor will be named Rajeev Gandhi Biosphere Reserve. Click on date for more details

Founded in 1989, Global Tiger Patrol (GTP) is a UK registered charity prioritising protection of the tiger in the wild.
Drawing upon advice from many of the World’s pre-eminent experts, GTP supports the tiger conservation activities of local communities, scientific researchers and the efforts of local guides and naturalists.
The Charity is run by volunteers to ensure that the maximum amount of money raised reaches our chosen projects.
GTP concentrates its work in India, as the subcontinent is home to about 50% of the world's remaining wild tigers.
GTP's expertise is tigers but its conservation work helps save Asia's animals and eco-systems - from elephants and rhinos to ants and beetles. As the tiger is at the top of the food chain, nature can only thrive under its umbrella. If the insects and animals that pollinate trees and fertilise the ground die out, the survival of the forests and jungles will be threatened.
