- The Jharkhand government plans to establish the state’s first tiger safari in the fringe area of the Barwadih Western Forest Range in Latehar district.
- This area falls under the Palamau Tiger Reserve (PTR).
- Tiger safari is not defined under The Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972.
- The concept was first envisaged in the Guidelines for the Tourism issued by the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) in 2012.
- In 2016, the NTCA issued guidelines for establishing tiger safaris in the buffer and fringe areas of tiger reserves.
- In March 2024, the Supreme Court has also directed that tiger safaris should be established outside the core and buffer areas of tiger reserves.
