In 2014, Similipal had only four Bengal tigers, including a pseudo-melanistic male. The small population increased inbreeding, prompting genetic studies and conservation strategies focused on preserving diversity, habitat connectivity, and species survival.

Conservation isn’t just about numbers—it’s about connection. Wildlife corridors keep tigers, lions, cheetahs & leopards roaming, breeding & surviving. Isolation turns parks into islands of extinction.

India’s Similipal Tiger Reserve is home to a rare population of pseudo-melanistic tigers, whose widened black stripes give them a striking, shadowy appearance. Prasenjeet Yadav spent 120 days in the field trying to capture a cover-worthy image of these elusive cats for the magazine’s Oct 2025 issue.
