The wildlife exchange pact was signed between Assam and Madhya Pradesh with the objective of enhancing biodiversity and reviving species that have disappeared locally. As part of this agreement, Assam will send wild water buffaloes, a pair of one-horned rhinoceroses, and king cobras to Madhya Pradesh. In return, Madhya Pradesh will provide tigers and mugger crocodiles to Assam. This collaborative initiative highlights the importance of inter-state cooperation in wildlife conservation and ecosystem restoration, with Kanha Tiger Reserve playing a key role in reintroducing buffaloes.
