RANTHAMBHORE NATIONAL PARK : AN OVERVIEW SANJEEV KUMAR AND PADMA DOBRA Desert Regional Centre, Zoological Survey of India, Jodhpur INTRODUCTION Once spread over the country, India's wildlife heritage is now restricted and preserved in the sanctuaries, national parks and reserves of India. With growing attention of naturalists and wildlife lovers across the subcontinent, rich areas of wildlife diversity were recognized and given different status of protection depending upon the need and importance of the flora and fauna. The proclamation of Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 became one such instrument in preserving the diverse wildlife in these protected areas. So far India has 97 National Parks and 498 sanctuaries covering an area of approximately 154,931.38 sq km, which amounts to 4.71% of the total land area of the country. The present day Ranthambhore is one such nature's spot now under protection as National Park and also holds the credit of being most incredible hot spots of Indian wilderness preserved in the pristine environment of northern extremity of central India also declared as Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve. Ranthambhore-the name comes from the vast fort that stands in the middle of the forest in Sawai Madhopur district of Rajasthan State. The name is derived from two hills in the area, Ran and Thambhore. There is another version, which states that Ranthambhore was once known as Rana-Stambhapura or city with wall of pillars. Infact, traces of settlement here dates as far back as the 8th century. Ranthambhore Fort, in Sawai Madhopur, Rajasthan is commonly believed to have been built by King Jayant of the Chouhan dynasty in 1110 AD. Some say that king Sapaldaksha, also a Chouhan founded Ranthambhore in 944 AD. Some are of the opinion that a relative of King Hasti of Hastinapura, called Rati Dev was the original founder. Another mythological belief is that the worshippers of Surya or Suryavanshis were the original inhabitants of the region. The Mughal emperor Akbar also fought a battle for the control of the fort and the region in the 16th century. Sawai Madho Singh, the ruler of J aipur in 1754 requested the Mughal emperor, Ahmed Shah to grant him Ranthambhore Fort in order to curb down the Marathas. On his refusal he fortified the Sherpur settlement of Ranthambhore and named it Sawai Madhopur in 1763, which is now a small town 14 km from Ranthambhore Fort. Later in the century especially before the arrival of British, the 2 Fauna of Ranthambhore National Park, Conservation Area Series, 43 residents of Ranthambhore forests were the Meenas, a tribe who had lived fairly freely and easily in the region. By 1820 Rajputs and Britishers jointly exercised their control to use the Ranthambhore forests as their private hunting reserves. This was the period when animal hunting was organized as game for the royal heirarchy in India. In the later part of the last century the fort and the surrounding forest became the property of the Maharaja of J aipur, who built a delightful shooting lodge by the lake and limited hunting to two months in the year. In 1960-61, the Queen Elizabeth II of England and HRH Duke of Edinburgh visited Ranthambhore as guests of Maharaja of Jaipur on a "Royal Shikar" Since hunting became restricted to special guests of Maharaja it resulted in slowing down the destruction of the forest and wildlife of the entire area of Sawai Madhopur, which is now a present day Ranthambhore National Park (Fig. 1). Today Ranthambhore is one of the many protected areas in India, which began its life as hunting reserves. Nearly all the India's significant conservation laws date from the period since Independence, although there was some legislature activity during the days of the British Raj. The Britishers under various nineteenth century Forest Acts restricted the hunting rights of forest dwellers and later divided forests into shooting blocks. These were opened and closed in accordance with the abundance or scarcity of animals as game, thus providing a measure of control over the hunting exploits of the forest dwellers. Occasionally laws were passed to protect a single species whose future was deemed uncertain. On the global scale the foundation of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in 1947 was the' event of considerable significance, at India's level, the then government created the Indian Board for Wildlife, which forwarded the proposals in 1953 for establishment of 18 National Parks in the country. The hunting reserve of His Highness, Maharaja of Jaipur at Sawai Madhopur was declared as Sawai Madhopur Wildlife Sanctuary in 1955. In the 1960'S many scientists feared that before long the tiger would become extinct like the cheetah in the 1950'S, and felt that new laws should be enforced to avert it. The fate of tiger spurred the Indian Government to introduce new laws to protect the country's remaining wildlife. WWF-I in 1969 was launched and later in 1972 a census of tiger was undertaken to count the dropping population from an estimated 40,000 to 1800. This prompted the Government to pass wildlife (Protection) Act in 1972 and also to launch Operation Tiger known as Project Tiger in 1973. With the launch of Project Tiger in India, the former Sawai Madhopur Wildlife Sanctuary was included as Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve amongst the first nine tiger reserves declared in 1973. Later in 1980 a part of Sawai Madhopur Wildlife Sanctuary with an area of 392.50 sq km was declared Ranthambhore National Park by designating 274.5 sq km as core area and 118 sq km as buffer area from within the Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve. In order to accommodate increasing wildlife population of this region,

    120 Indian Birds VOL. 15 NO. 4 (PUBL. 16 DECEMBER 2019) Correspondence Painted Spurfowl from the Chota Nagpur Plateau area of West Bengal The Painted Spurfowl Galloperdix lunulata inhabits rocky slopes and scrub habitats of dry forests, from central to southern India, including the Aravalli Range of Rajasthan up to the Ayodhya Range of West Bengal (Ball 1874). Historically, it was recorded at Rajmahal Hill, Manbhum, Lohardaga, Sirguja, Jashpur, Udaipur, Sambalpur, northwards of Mahanadi, Raipur, Nowagarh, Karial, and along the Godavari Valley (Ball 1874, 1878) on the Chotanagpur Plateau. But there is no record of the species (Chakraborty 2011) from a large portion of this important ecogeographic region (Kumar & Rawat 2008). We report the presence of this species in the Chotanagpur region on the basis of several sight records supported by photographs taken on three occasions [163]. Fig. 1.

Polhemus Previous collections of aquatic Heteroptera from Cambodia have been limited, and the biota of the country has remained essentially undocumented until the past several years. Recent surveys of aquatic Heteroptera in the Cardamom Mountains and adjacent Kirirom and Bokor plateaus of southwestern Cambodia, coupled with previous literature records, demonstrate that 11 families, 35 genera, and 68 species of water bugs occur in this area. These collections include 13 genus records and 37 species records newly listed for the country of Cambodia. The following four new species are described based on these recent surveys: Amemboa cambodiana n. sp. (Gerridae); Microvelia penglyi n. sp., Microvelia setifera n. sp. and Microvelia bokor n. sp. (all Veliidae). Based on an updated checklist provided herein, the aquatic Heteroptera biota of Cambodia as currently known consists of 78 species, and has an endemism rate of 7.7%, although these numbers should be considered provisional pending further sampling.
