More tigers poached !


The mutilated carcasses of two tigers were found in and around the Corbett and Pench national parks between Thursday afternoon and Friday morning, triggering a poacher alarm in the two famous tiger reserves.
The forests of Corbett have been on red alert since last week after reports of the Bavaria gang, a group of poachers, sneaking in. But they seemed to have made their first strike despite the tight security. At 6 am on Friday, a team of forest guards led by wildlife warden Satish Upadhyay found the body of a six-year-old tigress in Kalagarh forest range. The discovery came barely 12 hours after a tiger’s decomposed body, its head and paws chopped off, was found in Harnakund nullah in the buffer zone of Pench, 55km from Nagpur.
