The All-India Tiger Estimation (AITE) 2026 has recorded a strong presence of tigers in the Amrabad Tiger Reserve, highlighting the ecological significance of this protected landscape in Telangana.
Location and Background
The Amrabad Tiger Reserve is located in the Nallamala Hills of the Eastern Ghats in Telangana. Before the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh in 2014, the area formed part of the larger Nagarjunasagar–Srisailam Tiger Reserve.
Geographical Features
The reserve is characterised by rugged terrain, deep valleys and dense forests, providing suitable habitats for large mammals. The Krishna River and several perennial streams originating within the reserve contribute to the water resources of the region and feed major reservoirs such as the Srisailam and Nagarjunasagar reservoirs.
Tribal Community
The Chenchu tribe, a traditionally forest-dependent tribal community, is closely associated with the landscape of the reserve. Their traditional knowledge and dependence on forest resources are important aspects of the region's human–wildlife and conservation context.
Flora
The vegetation of Amrabad is dominated by dry deciduous forests, with important tree species such as sal, teak, bamboo and acacia. The reserve also contains a rich variety of medicinal plants and shrubs, many of which have traditionally been used by local communities.
Faunal Diversity
Amrabad provides habitat for tigers, leopards and other wild cats, along with herbivores such as sambar, chital, nilgai, wild boar and gaur. The reserve also supports significant avian diversity, with more than 303 bird species recorded, including eagles, pigeons, doves, cuckoos, woodpeckers and drongos.
Significance
The strong tiger presence recorded through AITE 2026 reinforces the importance of the Nallamala landscape as a critical habitat for tiger conservation. Its forests, river systems, biodiversity and tribal communities make Amrabad an important example of wildlife conservation integrated with landscape and community considerations.
