India’s First White Tiger Breeding Centre Approved in MP

National desk:

Central Zoo Authority (CZA) has given its green signal to India's first white tiger breeding centre in Madhya Pradesh's Rewa district, believed to be home to the last white tiger in the wild

Centre had given in-principle approval for this project in 2011. The breeding centre will now come up in Govindgarh. The state's lone white tiger safari is barely 10km away, in Mukundpur. The breeding centre is evidence that the MP govt remains dedicated to biodiversity conservation, said deputy CM Rajendra Shukla, adding it will boost wildlife tourism and create job opportunities for locals.
