Although it was said that the tiger census would be conducted from Poush 5 this year, it will be conducted from the 9th. A meeting held in Bardiya National Park on Tuesday announced that the tiger census would be conducted from Poush 9.

The park's information officer and senior assistant conservation officer Sarojmani Poudel said that the scheduled time has been postponed due to technical reasons. 'Training on tiger census will be held on February 7 and 8,' he said, 'necessary preparations have been made for the tiger census.' Tiger census will be conducted simultaneously in Dang, Banke and Bardiya. The census will be conducted using camera trapping technology. This year, tiger census will be conducted in Dang for the first time. Since it borders Banke National Park, tigers are also seen here from time to time, the Bardiya National Park has stated that the census has been started.

Although one block will be kept in Dang, the park will set up an additional block. Now, 6 blocks, 2/2 each, will be kept in Dang, Banke and Bardiya, said Ajit Tumphahamphe, head of the National Trust for Nature Conservation. About 450 cameras will be used for the tiger census, said Tumphahamphe, head of the fund. The tiger census is conducted in the park every four years. A joint technical team from the National Park Wildlife Department, the World Wildlife Fund, and the National Trust for Nature Conservation will conduct the census with the help of camera trapping. It has been stated that tigers will be counted in the Khata Bio-Marg and surrounding areas except for Bardiya Park. The technical team deployed for the tiger census will be given.
