BRT is now Tiger Reserve

The conversion of B R Hills reserve forest into a Tiger Reserve Forest has been approved by the Central Government.

Earlier, the Centre had sought information about the BRT Sanctuary way back in 2005 and the same thing had been submitted by the State Government.

With this the number of tiger reserves in the State has increased to five.

The Soligas and the Biligiri Rangaswami temple wildlife sanctuary

The Biligiri Rangaswamy (BR) Hills are in the Yelanur Taluka of Chamrajanagar District of Karnataka. In the midst of these hills lies the 540 square kilometre Biligiri Rangaswamy Temple Wildlife Sanctuary (BRT WLS). This area is also the traditional home of the indigenous Soliga people who have lived here for generations. Once declared a sanctuary, the resources of the area legally belong to the State. In the past, however the Forest Department has allowed the Soligas to collect NTFP. This scenario changed in 2006.
