The Nilgiri Tahr Conservation Centre to come up on Dr. Nanjappa Road in Coimbatore will be a hub for research, monitoring and documentation of Nilgiri tahr population in Tamil Nadu, enabling evidence-based conservation planning and long-term ecological stewardship.

Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Wednesday laid the foundation stone for the centre from Chennai (off line). The centre is a key component of the Project Nilgiri Tahr that was launched in 2023, envisioned for the conservation of Tamil Nadu’s State animal.
