Pilibhit's forests are strategically located in the landscape and connect India's Dudhwa Tiger Reserve and Nepal's Suklaphanta National Park through the Lagga Bagga forests. This forest division is in the process of being declared a Tiger Reserve.
WWF-India has been involved in the camera trapping exercise in different landscapes in India in 2010 for the estimation of tiger numbers in association with the Wildlife Institute of India (WII) and the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA), as well as the state forest departments.
