National Parks, Biosphere Reserves and Wildlife Sanctuaries which are important parts of tourism attraction protect the unique wildlife by acting as reserve areas for threatened species. Wildlife tourism means human activity undertaken to view wild animals in a natural setting. All the above areas are exclusively used for the benefit of the wildlife and maintaining biodiversity. “Wildlife watching” is simply an activity that involves watching wildlife. It is normally used to refer to watching animals, and this distinguishes wildlife watching from other forms of wildlife-based activities, such as hunting. Watching wildlife is essentially an observational activity, although it can sometimes involve interactions with the animals being watched, such as touching or feeding them.

    Spatial Differences in Prey Preference by Tigers Across the Bangladesh Sundarbans Reveal a Need for Customised Strategies to Protect Prey Populations

    Vol. 43: 65–74, 2020 ENDANGERED SPECIES RESEARCH Published September 17 https://doi.org/10.3354/esr01052 Endang Species Res OPEN ACCESS Spatial differences in prey preference by tigers across the Bangladesh Sundarbans reveal a need for customised strategies to protect prey populations M. Abdul Aziz1,3,*, M. Anwarul Islam2, Jim Groombridge1 1Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology, School of Anthropology and Conservation, University of Kent, Canterbury CT2 7NZ, UK 2Department of Zoology, University of Dhaka, Dhaka 1000, Bangladesh 3Present address: Department of Zoology, Jahangirnagar University, Savar, Dhaka 1342, Bangladesh ABSTRACT: The Sundarbans is the only mangrove habitat in the world to support tigers Panthera tigris, whose persistence there is believed to be dependent on a very limited number of prey spe- cies. Conservation managers therefore need to understand how tigers utilise available prey spe- cies on a spatial scale in order to formulate a prey-based protection strategy for this global-priority tiger landscape. A total of 512 scat samples were collected during a survey of 1984 km2 of forest across 4 sample blocks in the 6017 km2 of the Bangladesh Sundarbans. Analysis of scat composi- tion and prey remains reliably identified 5 major prey species, of which spotted deer Axis axis and wild pig Sus scrofa contributed a cumulative biomass of 89% to tiger diet. Tiger preference for prey species was highly skewed towards spotted deer and wild pig, but the relative contribution of these 2 species differed significantly across the 4 study areas, which spanned the Sundarbans, demonstrating important spatial patterns of tiger prey preference across the Sundarbans land- scape.

    Comparing Avifaunal Diversity Around Pench Tiger Reserve, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh

    Available online at www.worldscientificnews.com WSN 71 (2017) 182-190 EISSN 2392-2192 Comparing avifaunal diversity around Pench Tiger Reserve, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh Sonia Mondal1 and Suman Bhattacharyya2 Post Graduate Department of Zoology, Ecology Unit, Bangabasi College, Kolkata – 700009, India 1E-mail address: [email protected] 2E-mail address [email protected]/ [email protected] ABSTRACT Large tracts of natural habitat are being readily replaced by urban sprawl worldwide. We have limited knowledge about the anthropogenic activities on native species in these ecological regions. Human intervention has led to conversion of much of the global diversity by means of habitat alterations. Our conservation methods are also suffering from those superficial strategies. The present study was carried out to investigate the importance of habitat heterogeneity for the diversity, distribution and abundance of avifauna in and around Pench Tiger Reserve. In February 2014, a total of 79 bird species were recorded during the study period, applying the modified point count method. We compared species abundance and richness in Pench Tiger Reserve, considering four zones as metacommunity. Avifaunal community was distributed among Kolitmara (Western Pench, Maharashtra), Sillari (Maharashtra), Mansinghdeo (Maharashtra) and Seoni, Pench (Madhya Pradesh). Site specific biodiversity indices reflect the occurrence pattern of avifauna. Shannon – Wiener and Species diversity Index scored highest (9.56 and 1.78 respectively) in Mansinghdeo Wildlife Sanctuary. But species dominance was found high (0.62) in and around Sillari. Study areas with dense canopy closure were found to have more habitat specialist bird species, while areas having human settlements showed more opportunistic ones. An overall negative impact of human settlements on avian diversity, distribution and abundance was evidenced from the present study but more intensive study is needed to infer on the dynamics.

Importance of biodiversity conservation through environmental protection and policy of creating protected areas has received worldwide attention as manifested in various conventions on bio-diversity. Bio- diversity conservation has not only ethical and aesthetic implications but also have various economic and social dimensions. These concerns are being increasingly reflected at National and International levels through research and policy programmes as well as related activities undertaken by NGO’s. The present study endeavours to estimate the benefits and cost of P.A. of Pench National Park (PNP) located in central India. This study focuses on rational for creation of protected areas and its direct as well as indirect benefits and costs. It is also an exercise in research methodology where internationally accepted methods like IFRI, TCM etc.
