Country's First Inter-State Translocation of Tigers Project
Country’s first inter-state translocation of tigers project December 10, 2020 In news Madhya Pradesh CM wrote to Odisha CM, asking him to ensure that Sundari – a tigress shifted as part of India’s first inter-state translocation project in 2018 –is kept in proper care and appropriate environment until the Ghorela centre in Kanha Tiger Reserve is ready to accommodate her. Why did the translocation project come up? In the last 16 years, Odisha’s tiger population has reduced by 104 from 132 in 2002 to 28 in 2018. In the backdrop of this, NTCA in September-November 2017 had approved a project to augment and recover tiger population in Satkosia tiger reserve (963 sqkm) in Odisha. Consequent to this, permission was granted to capture two tigers from tiger reserves in Madhya Pradesh. NTCA also took technical help of Wildlife Institute of India (WII), Dehradun. Inter-state translocation project in 2018 and the controversy over it Mahavir and Sundari were the first pair of tiger and tigress sent to Satkosia from MP’s Panna Tiger Reserve and Bandhavghar respectively as part of the translocation project. The two states have been at loggerheads over the relocation of Sundari after she killed two villagers living in the peripheral of Satkosia Tiger Reserve in Odisha a few months after being brought in from Madhya Pradesh. Both states then wrote to the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA), with Odisha urging that Sundari be sent back while Madhya Pradesh remained reluctant. This project was suspended by NTCA, a statutory body under MoEFCC monitoring tiger reserves, after it found that “pre-requisite conditions for reintroduction of tigers were not followed”.

Kanha, Pench & Satpura Tiger Reserves an Introduction to Wildlife
Kanha, Pench & Satpura Tiger Reserves An introduction to wildlife of Central India Jungles of Central India Growing up we have all heard of stories of Mowgli and his adventures. We all have either read them or better still caught some version of this marvelous adventure in form of an animation or motion picture. This experience we have planned for you takes you to these jungles of central India. The Jungle Book was originally published in magazines in the form of a collection of short stories in 1894 and these contained illustrations by Rudyard Kipling’s father John Lockwood Kipling. It is said that Rudyard Kipling initially wrote these for his eldest daughter Josephine who died at the age of 6 in 1899. Jungles of Central India offer one of the most unique and diverse experiences in the subcontinent. The parks offer a diversity like none other – with about 350 species of birds and the region is an ideal destination to look for the following key species – Tiger, Leopard, Sloth Bear, Dhole (Indian wild dogs), Gaur (Indian Bison), rusty spotted cat (the smallest wildcat in the world), Indian Skimmer and the Russell Viper to name a few. Our selection of parks is based on giving you the best chance to see the Bengal Tiger, at the same time they let you explore the jungles using a variety of safaris options. Jeep Safaris – these are excellent to track larger mammals for which one might need to cover a larger area. Walking Safari – walking safaris helps you learn tracking techniques from naturalists. They also help you find, observe and learn about lesser fauna that is often too well camouflaged and is missed when on jeep safaris.

Discovery of Eurasian Otter, One of the Rarest Indian Mammals, from the Satpura Tiger Reserve, Madhya Pradesh and Kanha-Pench Corridor
Press release Dated 4-June-2016 Discovery of Eurasian Otter, one of the rarest Indian mammals, from the Satpura Tiger Reserve, Madhya Pradesh and Kanha-Pench Corridor Details emerging from extensive camera trapping in the State of Madhya Pradesh has revealed a spectacular discovery of a rare mammal species, the Eurasian Otter (Lutra lutra) in the Central Indian Highlands. The Madhya Pradesh Forest Department in collaboration with Wildlife Conservation Trust (WCT) were, for the first time ever, conducting camera trapping over a vast area of 5800 sq. km., in extremely rugged terrain of the Satpura Hill Range and the Kanha-Pench Corridor when this fascinating discovery came about. WCT scientists discovered and confirmed the presence of Eurasian Otter in the undisturbed highland streams. Three species of otters are known to be present in India- the smooth-coated otter (Lutrogale perspicillata), Asian small-clawed otter (Aonyx cinerea) and the Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra). Out of these three, the smooth- coated otter is the most widely distributed in India, with several well-documented records. While the Asian small-clawed is patchily distributed; found in the Himalayan foot hills in northern India, parts of the Eastern Ghats and in the southern Western Ghats. Except for the smooth-coated otter, there is no evidence of the other two otter species from central India. Based on indirect evidences and ancient records the Eurasian otter is believed to be found in the Himalayas and in some parts of the Western Ghats, however, there is no substantial evidence to confirm their presence since several decades. In other words, the presence of the Eurasian Otter in India is not yet known from any confirmed direct evidence till date.

WESTERN GHATS HOME to 3,387 LEOPARDS Relevant For: Environment | Topic: Biodiversity, Ecology, and Wildlife Related Issues
Source : www.thehindu.com Date : 2020-12-23 WESTERN GHATS HOME TO 3,387 LEOPARDS Relevant for: Environment | Topic: Biodiversity, Ecology, and Wildlife Related Issues Cat count:India has an estimated population of 12,852 leopards.M.A. SRIRAM The Western Ghats region is home to 3,387 leopards stealthily roaming around its forests. Karnataka tops the list with 1,783 leopards, followed by Tamil Nadu with 868, according to the Status of Leopards in India 2018 report. With 650 leopards, Kerala has the third highest number of big cats in the Western Ghats region. Goa has 86. “The Western Ghats is home to 3,387 leopards, against India’s population of 12,852,” says the report released recently by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change. The leopard population was counted during the tiger population assessment undertaken in 2018. The leopard population was estimated to be within the forested habitats in tiger-occupied States, the report said. The presence of the animal was recorded in the forested areas of Western Ghats, Nilgiris, and sporadically across much of the dry forests of Central Karnataka. Leopard population of the Western Ghats landscape was reported from the four distinct blocks. The Northern block covered the contiguous forests of Radhanagari and Goa covering Haliyal- Kali Tiger Reserve, Karwar, Honnavar, Madikeri, Kudremukh, Shettihali Wild Life Sanctuary (WLS), Bhadra and Chikmagalur. The Central population covered southern Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and northern Kerala covering the forests of Virajpet, Nagarhole, Bandipur, Madumalai, Satyamangalam, Nilgiris, Silent Valley, Wayanad, BRT Hills, MM Hills, Cauvery WLS, Bannerghhata National Park.
