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. -

This beautiful reserve is cradled in the Mahadeo Hills of the Satpura Range that is characterized by deep valleys, narrow gorges, cascading waterfalls and rich vegetation. All these facets of the forest make it ideal trekking country.

Captain James Forsyth, the man largely responsible for establishing and operating the headquarters, ascended to Pachmarhi using the same route as what we walk on this trek. This five day adventure includes a unique mobile camping and walking expedition through the pristine Satpura Forests as well as spending two days exploring the gorgeous Satpura National Park on foot, canoe and Jeeps.

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. -

It is not the aim communities that have been relatively isolated from the of this essay to dwell on the ecological and social justifi cation for outside world, the displacement is traumatic from both such relocation. Instead, it attempts to describe and analyse the economic and cultural points of view.

Ecological and Institutional Analysis of Inland Fisheries Resource Management: Productivity in the Case of Tawa Reservoir, India AMALENDU JYOTISHI Gujarat Institute of Development Research S-G Highway, Gota, Ahmedabsd 380 060 India E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Fishing in inland water bodies such as flood plain lakes, river, estuaries and reservoirs, has an important role for rural people. Fish is an important source of protein diet of many households and generate significant income as well as provide employment opportunities. 70 percent of the 0.71 million active fisher folks in India are employed in the inland fisheries and India has a total of 19,370 reservoir units covering an area of 31, 53,366 hectares, hence creates a lot of opportunities for economic development of the rural people. Reservoir fisheries are classic case of Common Pool Resources (CPRS) and hence require comprehensive institutional arrangement that can ensure productivity of the fish resources without compromising with the ecological needs. Therefore, through the case of Tawa reservoir, we are trying to understand the fisheries resource and the production scenario. Tawa reservoir has undergone operation through different management regime, and hence, provides an opportunity to comprehend the performance of these regimes and their implications on fisheries resources. In this paper, our attempt is therefore, to understand the dynamics of the fisheries resource of Tawa reservoir. With the limited available data, we analyse the catch and stocking relationship, predator-prey relationship and also to identify the determinants that influence the productivity of the Tawa reservoir. Based on the time-series data available a model was developed to determine the production possibility of the fish resource in Tawa. -
