This year proved to be bad not only for tigers and leopards but also for human beings residing in and around jungle. The number of deaths of tigers and leopards has gone high up to 31 and 161 respectively and that of human beings to 82 in wildlife attacks.

Moreover, there are two deaths by wild boar attacks and one death in elephant attack in Chandrapur district. Nagpur district records two deaths in leopard attacks. The department disbursed Rs 12.30 crore by way of compensation to the family members of the 82 deceased persons.

The department registered a figure of 31 tiger deaths this year, including  T-35 tigress that was found dead in Saleghat Forest Range under Pench Tiger Reserve on Tuesday. Of them 18 deaths are natural, 4 by poisoning, 2 by electrocution, 2 by poaching, 1 by train accident, 3 other reasons and 1 by bursting of crude bomb in the mouth of tigress in Pombhurna.
