In Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, the reserve spans five districts: Kurnool, Prakasam, Guntur, Nalgonda, and Mahbubnagar. 75 percent of the world’s tigers are found in India. It was notified in the year of 1978 and came under the protection of Project Tiger in 1983. In 1992, it was retitled as Rajiv Gandhi Wildlife Sanctuary. Geographical Aspects The Tiger Reserve is located in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana and spans five districts. The Nallamala Hills dominate the landscape. The reserve contains the multipurpose reservoirs Srisailam and Nagarjunasagar. The Krishna River runs through the reserve’s basin. Fauna It is home to a diverse range of wild animals. Many other animals, including leopards, rusty-spotted cats, pangolins, Mugger Crocodiles, Indian Rock Pythons, and innumerable bird species, can be found here, in addition to the Bengal Tiger, which is the apex predator. Flora A wide range of trees, from tropical dry mixed deciduous forest in the south to southern thorn forest in the south. This region is also home to a diverse range of shrubs and bamboo thickets. The main types of forest biomes in the reserve are: southern tropical dry mixed deciduous forest, Hardwickia forest and Deccan thorn scrub forests with much Euphorbia scrub.

  • Graduate Student Summer Fieldwork Award Report, October 2019
    Institute for Regional and International Studies (IRIS) Graduate Student Summer Fieldwork Award Report, October 2019 Quantifying forest loss in the Nethravathi watershed, India Deepika Guruprasad, Environmental Observation and Informatics Master’s Program Nelson Institute, UW Madison. The Western Ghats is a mountain range which runs parallel to the western coast of India. It is a global biodiversity hotspot which is home to several endangered and endemic mammals, birds and plant species. Many life-sustaining rivers originate here and provide several irreplaceable ecosystem services. The Nethravathi river is one of the major west flowing rivers whose tributaries originate in these mountains. Its watershed has some of the last untouched tropical forests which are key to maintaining connectivity between two protected areas, Kudremukh National Park in the North and Pushpagiri Wildlife sanctuary in the South. In the last 20 years, this region has seen a rapid loss of forests due to ill-planned linear infrastructure projects such as pipelines, roads, hydroelectric, and river diversion dams. These projects have and continue to fragment the landscape as new projects are proposed and implemented with little or no impact assessment. Land use change alters a homogenous landscape into heterogeneous patches, which leads to habitat fragmentation. My summer leadership placement was with the wildlife advocacy non-profit, Wildlife First. The objective of this placement was to map and quantify forest loss due to linear infrastructure projects in the Nethravathi river watershed. Filling in data gaps using reliable land use maps and forest loss statistics is key to make evidence-based policy recommendations. The first part of my project was to map land use of the region using satellite imagery.

  • Assessing the Historical Forest Encroachment of Kodagu Region of Western Ghats, South India Using Remote Sensing and GIS
    1 Assessing the historical forest Encroachment of Kodagu region of Western Ghats, South India using remote sensing and GIS G.R. Pramod Kumar*, A.M. Hemanjali, P. Ravikumar, R.K. Somashekar** and B.C. Nagaraja Department of Environmental Science, Bangalore University, Bangalore – 560056 Email: *pramodgowdagmail.com, **[email protected] Abstract The present study is focused on RS and GIS based assessment of forest encroachment in Kodagu district of Karnataka for the year 1990, 2000 and 2010 using Landsat TM/MSS for 1990 and 2000, and IRS LISS III for the year 2010. It’s located in the south-western part of Karnataka state, geographically stretched between 110 56' to120 52’ N and 750 22’ to760 12’ E, with a total area of 4101.21 Km2. The study revealed that the encroachment in reserve forest area accounts for 291.6 ha, 284.8 ha and 173.7 ha respectively for the year, 2010, 2000 and 1990. The highest encroachment is being noticed in Somavarpet, Kushalnagar ranges in Madikeri division and major encroachment is witnessed moist and dry deciduous, other plantation and mixed forest plantation. The major factors accelerating are expansion of agriculture, plantations, rapid growth of urbanization, development of utility services, population dependency of forest livelihood and poverty. Keywords: Western Ghats, Forest types, Encroachment, Zonal classification, Land use Land cover Introduction The forests are playing a vital role in regulating the climate and biodiversity conservation despite providing livelihood benefits to millions of people living in and around the forests.The forests of the Western Ghats region of peninsular India have undergone significant transformations over the past century (Ref).

  • Political Economy of Tribal Development: a Case Study of Andhra Pradesh
    IOSR Journal of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 26, Issue 4, Series 6 (April. 2021) 39-48 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Political Economy of Tribal Development: A Case Study of Andhra Pradesh Dr. K. Anil Kumar1, Dr. M. Gopinath Reddy2 1Assistant Professor, Centre for Economic and Social Studies, N.O. Campus, Begumpet, Hyderabad-16. 2Professor, Centre for Economic and Social Studies, N.O. Campus, Begumpet, Hyderabad-16. ABSTRACT The tribal population in the State of Andhra Pradesh, and in the country as a whole, is the most deprived and vulnerable community that faces severe economic exclusion. Although certain constitutional safeguards are provided, no significant economic, social and political mobility has taken place across this community. Contrary to Scheduled Castes and other Backward Castes who witnessed certain degrees of progress because of protective discrimination policies of the government, the Scheduled Tribes remain abysmally backward and socially excluded, still living in harsh environs. Our paper on "Political Economy of Tribal Development: A Case Study of Andhra Pradesh", delineates the situation of the Scheduled Tribes in the background of various policies of the state during the successive plan periods and its impact on their socio-economic mobility. Politically, this community is the most voiceless in the state. Their unsecured livelihood position in terms of lack of legal entitlements of the resources they use, both land and non-timber forest produce, push them into deep economic vulnerability. The paper also discusses the implications of the new act - Forest Right Act, 2006, on the livelihood security of the tribal communities and whether this act will finally lead to the inclusion of these people into the mainstream.

  • Gundia Hydro Electric Project: Challenged by People
    Gundia Hydro Electric Project: Challenged by People (Synopsis: The proposal to set up a 400 MW capacity hydro electric project in evergreen forests of Western Ghats in Hassan district of Karnataka has met with a lot of opposition from the locals and environmentalists. The Detailed Project Report of the proposal poorly backs up the project with many contentious issues. The Public Hearing on environmental issues on 26.7.2008 at the project location was a stormy one with many people vehemently opposing the proposal. When a manipulated minutes of the public hearing was sent by the District Commissioner, strong protest letters were sent. This article highlights many contentious issues of the proposal.)
