Since Assam currently has 3500 wild buffaloes,  the state is planning to send 2-3 of these buffaloes to Chattisgarh. 

The entire process of transferring the buffaloes is being conducted through the Wildlife Trust of India, which monitors the health and population of animals across India and tries to trans-locate various animals so that a healthy population remains all over India.
