Shuklaphanta park makes great strides in blackbuck conservation

The park has increased the blackbuck population to 113, but now there is a concern about limited space for the animals inside the park.

In an encouraging development for wildlife conservation, Shuklaphanta National Park has outdone its target of achieving the blackbuck population target of 100 by 2020 by increasing the antelope numbers to 113, and that too with months still in hand for the year to end.
