Peace to open corridor for animal movement

Contiguous forests in Chhattisgarh, specifically Achanakmar and Udanti sanctuaries, offer Sunabeda a significant opportunity to boost its animal populations. This natural connectivity facilitates the dispersal of herbivores and carnivores, promoting genetic exchange and reducing isolation. Wildlife officials believe a Maoist-free Sunabeda can now leverage its location to become a vital part of a larger, connected wildlife landscape.
