Madhya Pradesh reports progress in a rewilding effort for orphaned tiger cubs that have lost their mothers. According to the reports, the state has already provided a second chance to more than 20 cubs by returning them to the jungle after care and preparation in rehabilitation/re-wilding settings. After their release, many of the cubs are said to survive and integrate into the wild, with some establishing territories and raising cubs of their own. The reports frame the program as an ongoing effort to restore tiger populations by reducing the impact of orphaning and by helping young tigers learn to live independently in forest habitats. Plans are also described for additional rewilding centres to expand the capacity of the program. Overall, the coverage emphasizes that the released cubs are increasingly behaving like resident tigers in the wild, including through territorial use and reproduction, while the state continues to develop further infrastructure to support future releases.
