Maharashtra’s tiger zones under threat over plan to cut over 2.5 lakh trees

Bajrang’s is the 42nd tiger death in the state since January, the highest figure in the last 11 years. According to wildlife experts, there are three prime reasons for the tiger deaths: poaching, territorial fights and accidents. The last two have to do with the shrinking tiger habitat: the reduction of tiger areas can result in fights over territory and the widening of highways in tiger areas lead to accidents.
