Nameri Tiger Reserve Gains Global Conservation Acclaim

Nameri Tiger Reserve has officially received CA|TS-Approved status, a significant accreditation for its commitment to global tiger conservation and protected-area management standards. This esteemed recognition was granted on September 10, following a rigorous assessment by the CA|TS International Executive Committee.

The Conservation Assured|Tiger Standards (CA|TS) framework meticulously evaluates reserves across critical areas including wildlife protection, habitat management, monitoring protocols, administrative efficiency, and community involvement.

With Nameri's recent approval, Assam now proudly boasts all four of its tiger reserves—Kaziranga, Manas, Orang, and Nameri—holding CA|TS-Approved status, underscoring the state's dedication to tiger preservation.

This accolade for Nameri, situated in the Sonitpur district and encompassing 464 sq km, is attributed to intensified anti-poaching initiatives, scientific tiger monitoring, successful habitat restoration, and comprehensive landscape management. The reserve implements robust patrolling strategies, utilizes camera traps for wildlife tracking, and actively works on habitat improvement in the wider landscape.
