Tadoba National Park in Maharashtra is well known for tigers and other wild animals. Many people visit for safaris, which also helps the local economy. But the park has a major issue. It does not have a full rescue and treatment centre. Only a small transit centre is available, which cannot treat serious injuries or illnesses.
In Maharashtra, Tadoba Park is one of the oldest and most visited wildlife parks. Many people call it the land of the Royal Bengal Tiger because the tiger is the main attraction here. Visitors from all over India and from other countries come mainly to see this big cat in its natural home. But Tadoba National Park is not only about tigers. It is a place full of history, culture, plants, and animals. It has old stories from tribes, archaeological sites, rivers, and lakes.
A week before the end of August 2025, Chhota Matka (T-126), a tiger, had been rescued by the forest department team as per NTCA protocols in Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve. He was found badly hurt on 27 August 2025 in the Khadsangi Range, a buffer zone of the park. Chhota Matka is a famous tiger often seen during the Tadoba safari. This rescue shows that wild animals also face danger and need care. The forest department, doctors, and Rapid Response Teams worked quickly to help him.
