 Eco-bridges

  • Telangana is the first state to have eco-friendly bridges for the movement of tigers over a canal cutting across the tiger corridor.
  • The bridge links Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR) in Maharashtra with the forests in Telangana.
  • It requires the laying of fertile soil to grow grass and plants over the structure, so that fragmentation of the reserve forest is camouflaged.
Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve
  • Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve is a tiger reserve in Chandrapur district of Maharashtra state in central India.
  • It is Maharashtra's oldest and largest national park.
  • It is one of India's 50 "Project Tiger" - tiger reserves.
  • Andhari, a minor river in waiganga basin flows through the tiger reserve.
