Tiger zinda hai

EPIC Channel is all set for a two-part original docu-series titled Emerald Forest, which will be aired at 8:30 pm on Sunday, March 22. From zero tigers in 2009 to now over 50, the story of Emerald Forest brings to fore the extraordinary efforts of a small team of dedicated forest officers who reintroduced tigers in Panna National Park, spread across a vast expanse of 542.67 sq. km. in Madhya Pradesh. Through conversations with IFS officer Sreenivasa Murthy, who initiated the Panna Tiger Reintroduction program in 2009, we hear the unique story of implementing this mammoth task and the risks involved.

Shot exclusively in 4k, the series also captures the beauty of the lush jungle and the rich biodiversity of Panna National Park, along with introducing to its diverse inhabitants— from tigers, leopards, wolves, hyenas, bar-headed, honey buzzards, king vultures, and the vast range of varied flora species.
