The mobile app, M-STrIPES, used for surveillance and patrolling of tiger-populated areas has played a major role in this. M-STrIPES (Monitoring System For Tigers-Intensive Protection and Ecological Status) This app was developed by the National Tiger Conservation Authority and the Wildlife Institute of India in 2010. M-STrIPES allows patrol teams to keep a better tab on suspicious activity while also mapping the patrolling, location, routes and timings of forest officials. The App was also used in the All India-Tiger Estimation.

  • August 2019 News Letter
    AUGUST 2019: SMALL TOWNS: THE NEXT FILMING DESTINATION SMALL CITIES BECOMING BOLLYWOOD'S NEW FILMING DESTINATIONS Light, camera, action – these are the word which one can easily get to hear in small India n towns and cities now. Call it an effort to make a film more realistic, now a lot of filmmakers want to shoot their films in real locations. Be it the ghats of Bithooror in kanpur, small galis of Maheshwar or famous junctions in Kota, filmmakers are now exploring small cities to shoot their films. It can be said that the change is happening on the stories side too. Idyllic European getaways have given way to stories set in Lucknow, Kanpur, Mathura, Agra and Patna. Even big banners such as Yash Raj Films and Dharma Productions adapted and went local with films such as Shuddh Desi Romance and Dum Laga Ke Haisha, and Badrinath ki Dulhaniya and Dhadak. NRIs too love such films. These films have a pan-India connect. Most people in our country do not live in palaces; they are looking at the ground reality and issues that they face on a day-to-day basis. “A paradigm shift has happened to stories and locales in films now. The audience is responsible for it.” Source: The Week, December 28, 2018 G W A L I G A R H F O R T Gawilghur (also Gawilgarh or Gawilgad) was once the well-fortified mountain stronghold of the Maratha Empire. Fort lies in the vicinity of the Melghat Tiger Reserve, and is believed to be 300 years old.

  • Foraging Ecology of the Asian Elephant in Northern West Bengal
    Research Article Gajah 40 (2014) 18-25 Foraging Ecology of the Asian Elephant in Northern West Bengal Mukti Roy1* and Sushant Chowdhury2 1Asian Nature Conservation Foundation, Centre for Ecological Sciences, Indian Institute of Science, Banaglore, India 2Wildlife Institute of India, Chandrabani, Dehradun, India *Corresponding author’s e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Foraging by Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) was studied using the lead animal technique at Buxa Tiger Reserve, Jaldapara Wildlife Sanctuary and Gorumara National Park in West Bengal, India. Feeding trials were done in three broad habitat types—Dense-mixed, Open-mixed and Grassland. In total, 3150 bite counts and 67 consumed plant species consisting of 17 grasses, 6 herbs, 13 shrubs, 14 climbers and 17 trees, were recorded. Browse species bites formed 56% of the total sample and 89 %, 57%, and 24 % of the samples in dense-mixed, open-mixed and grassland, respectively. Crude protein in common wild grasses such as Saccharum spontaneum and S. arundinaceum was lower than cultivated crops like Eleucine corocana. Introduction The main study areas were the Buxa Tiger Reserve, Jaldapara Wildlife Sanctuary and Foraging is a major factor in animal movement Gorumara National Park. Buxa Tiger Reserve is and habitat selection. The elephant is a mega- located between E89°25’ – E89°52’ and N26°33’ herbivore requiring large amounts of food – N26°50’, and encompasses an area of 761 km2. estimated at 1.5–2.5% of its body weight of Buxa was designated as a Project Tiger Reserve dry fodder daily (Sukumar 2003). Due to this in 1983. The Jaldapara Wildlife Sanctuary lies enormous need for food, the elephant cannot to the west of the Buxa Tiger reserve, between afford to be a selective feeder.
