As we have identified 23 Blue Bull (Nilghai) during our last survey, last week it was amazing that our survey team noticed 28 female and 5 male Nilghais inside the Dhanusha Protected Forest which indicates the return of some isolated Nilghais from nearby areas, which was before inside the DPF and escaped from poaching. This positive return of Nilghais indicates the safety and protection of DPF in the hands of MWT and FD.
