Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan paid a courtesy call on Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis at his camp office in Mumbai. On this occasion, issues related to the mutual interests of both the states and the conservation of tigers in the Eastern Ghats were widely discussed. On this occasion, Pawan thanked the Government of Maharashtra for agreeing to provide two female tigers to Andhra Pradesh. He said that genetic problems have arisen due to the significant decrease in the number of female tigers in the Eastern Ghats region, and in this context, Maharashtra’s cooperation is very important for the restoration of the tiger population.
Pawan Kalyan said that with the arrival of two female tigers, the problems of inbreeding in the Eastern Ghats will be reduced, genetic diversity will increase and the tiger population will stabilize in the long term. He expressed hope that this will create a healthy and self-sufficient tiger habitat. He said that the governments of Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra are moving ahead in coordination in wildlife conservation and biodiversity conservation. Pawan Kalyan also expressed special thanks to Union Minister of Forest, Environment and Climate Change Bhupender Yadav, who is providing guidance for this programme. He believes that this partnership will be a milestone for the long-term conservation of tigers in the Eastern Ghats.
