The mapping of core and buffer zones for the creation of a tiger reserve in Sathyamangalam forest has reached the final stage and a revised proposal is likely to be submitted to the State Government in a few weeks.
The previous proposal submitted by the Forest Department did not include a buffer zone in the 1.41 lakh hectares in Sathyamangalam forest that have been earmarked for the tiger reserve and missed a few vital aspects. “Creation of a buffer zone is very important for carrying out various development activities. So we have carried out the mapping exercise once again and completed the task recently.
