Proposal The proponents propose delisting of Dalbergia sissoo DC., from CITES Appendix II as it does not meet the listing criteria set out in Article II [(paragraphs 2(a)]of the Convention text or the criteria laid down in Annex 2(a) of Resolution Conf. 9.24 (Rev. CoP17). The species is widely distributed and in India it is found abundantly in wild and on cultivation as well. The species has very fast growth rate and capacity to become naturalized outside of its native range, even it is invasive in some parts of the world. The regulation of trade in the species is not necessary to avoid it becoming eligible for inclusion in Appendix I in the near future and the harvest of specimens from the wild is not reducing the wild population to a level at which its survival might be threatened by continued harvesting or other influences.

Among all Alien species, the maximum number of species (13) were from the family Asteraceae, followed by Amaranthaceae (05), Euphorbiaceae and Papilionaceae (04), Caesalpiniaceae (03), Convolvulaceae and Poaceae (03). The data revealed that herbs accounted for 45 species, undershrubs 6 species, shrubs 5 species, climbers 1 species, trees 2 species, grasses 3 species and sedges represented with 2 species.

    ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 Pilibhit Tiger Reserve Conservation Opportunities and Challenges PRANAV CHANCHANI Vol. 50, Issue No. 20, 16 May, 2015 Pranav Chanchani ([email protected]) is a PhD candidate in ecology at Colorado State University, United States, and was a research associate at WWF-India between 2011 and 2013. Home to a sizeable tiger population and several other endangered species, the Pilibhit Forest Division, an erstwhile timber yielding reserve forest, was notified as a tiger reserve by the Uttar Pradesh state government in 2014. To successfully protect and perpetuate the tiger species in this area, noted for its "exemplary wildlife values", the administrators will have to preempt discord that is likely to arise between the forest department and human communities whose livelihoods are affected by the creation of the new reserve. In June 2014, the Government of Uttar Pradesh (UP) notified Pilibhit Forest Division (PFD) as a tiger reserve. Pilibhit Tiger Reserve (PTR) is noteworthy because it supports a notably large tiger population even though it has been an important timber yielding reserve forest for over 100 years. This situation, which is unique to PTR, raises a series of questions. What factors have enabled the persistence of tigers in the erstwhile PFD? How will its conversion into a tiger reserve benefit the species’ long term conservation in this region? And what must administrators and managers do to conserve this endangered species while also accommodating the needs of human communities dependent on forest resources?

Since a long time several tribal communities are settled in the forest areas. The major among them are Tharus and Bengali’s. These tribal communities are totally dependent on local plants for their sustenance. Keeping in view, an ethnobotanical study was made on the medicinal plants used for the treatment of skin problems frequently occurring in the tribals living around Pilibhit Tiger Reserve, Pilibhit. The Study revealed 30 species of plants belonging to 27 genera of 26 families, used to treat various skin problems. It was also found that a few species are over exploited and have reached vulnerable to rare status. So there is urgent need to write ethnobotanical information before some of these species get extinct from the area. Continuous and sincere efforts are required to conserve these species and to collect detailed ethnic information which will provide source for further scientific investigations. Key words: Ethnomedicinal Plants, Skin Diseases, Pilibhit Tiger Reserve. Introduction system.

  • Pilibhit Tiger Reserve
    Human Animal Conflict - Pilibhit Tiger Reserve What is the issue? \n\n Traditional elements of man-animal conflict along with some site-specific triggers in Pilibhit have made this young tiger reserve one of the worst conflict zones. \n\n How prevalent is the conflict? \n\n \n In Pilibhit tiger reserve in Uttar Pradesh, tigers have killed 6 people over the last 3 months. \n This is a new high even for this notorious conflict zone. \n Tadoba (Maharashtra) and Pilibhit are the two reserves that saw the bulk of the recent deadly attacks. \n Sunderbans (West Bengal) and Corbett(Uttarkhand) are other notable conflict zones. \n \n\n What are the reasons? \n\n \n Visibility - Unlike elephants that occupy huge space and resources and are easy to spot, the big cats are good at avoiding people and often go invisible. \n Land Use Pattern - A drastic change in land use is evident in most of the conflict zones. e.g –\n \n 1. Huge influx of settlers in Sunderbans due to various historical reasons. \n 2. Fisherfolk ventured deep into the channels of the Sunderbans, while honey-collectors delved into the mangrove clusters. \n 3. Large scale deforestation in Pilibhit for firewood and fodder added to the causes. \n \n \n Local reasons - In Pilibhit, the conflict was further exacerbated by the reckless farming choices made by the local community. \n Farmland at the immediate edge of a forest creates an illusion of extended habitat for the wildlife. \n Pilibhit’s widespread sugarcane fields and the choice of sugarcane and rice as prime crops have brought tigers and people dangerously close due to the absence of a functional buffer area.
