Designated in

1981

Declared in 1981, Panna suffered in 2009 the documented loss of its entire tiger population to systematic poaching, a scandal that shook the Indian conservation system and led to a thorough review of the country's monitoring protocols. The subsequent reintroduction of tigers from other reserves, begun that same year, is today reckoned one of the most successful species recovery programmes in India, with a population that has multiplied several times over since.
