Poaching of tigers along Karnali bio-corridor worries conservationists

In a recent incident, a big cat died after falling into a trap set up by poachers. Poaching is on the rise in the areas where wild animals are meant to be protected, officials say.

An adult tigress was found dead at Amarawati Community Forest in Janaki Rural Municipality-9 on Sunday. Forest officials suspect the tigress died at the hands of poachers who had laid traps in the bio-corridor.
