  • Pench Tiger Reserve: Maharashtra
    Pench Tiger Reserve: Maharashtra drishtiias.com/printpdf/pench-tiger-reserve-maharashtra Why in News Recently, a female cub of 'man-eater' tigress Avni has been released into the wild in the Pench Tiger Reserve (PTR) of Maharashtra. Key Points About: It is located in Nagpur District of Maharashtra and named after the pristine Pench River. The Pench river flows right through the middle of the park. It descends from north to south, thereby dividing the reserve into equal eastern and western parts. PTR is the joint pride of both Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. The Reserve is located in the southern reaches of the Satpura hills in the Seoni and Chhindwara districts in Madhya Pradesh, and continues in Nagpur district in Maharashtra as a separate Sanctuary. It was declared a National Park by the Government of Maharashtra in 1975 and the identity of a tiger reserve was granted to it in the year 1998- 1999. However, PTR Madhya Pradesh was granted the same status in 1992-1993. It is one of the major Protected Areas of Satpura-Maikal ranges of the Central Highlands. It is among the sites notified as Important Bird Areas (IBA) of India. The IBA is a programme of Birdlife International which aims to identify, monitor and protect a global network of IBAs for conservation of the world’s birds and associated diversity. 1/3 Flora: The green cover is thickly spread throughout the reserve. A mixture of Southern dry broadleaf teak forests and tropical mixed deciduous forests is present. Shrubs, climbers and trees are also frequently present.

  • 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.

  • A Contemporary Assessment of Tree Species in Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve, Southern India
    Proceedings of the International Academy of Ecology and Environmental Sciences, 2017, 7(2): 30-46 Article A contemporary assessment of tree species in Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve, Southern India M. Sathya, S. Jayakumar Environmental Informatics and Spatial Modeling Lab, Department of Ecology and Environmental Sciences, School of Life Sciences, Pondicherry University, Puducherry 605014, India E-mail: [email protected] Received 28 December 2016; Accepted 5 February 2017; Published online 1 June 2017 Abstract Tree species inventory was carried out in five forest types of Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve (STR). The forest type was divided into homogenous vegetation strata (HVS) based on the altitude, temperature, precipitation and forest types. A total of 8 ha area was sampled using 0.1 ha (20m 50m) plot and all tree species ≥ 1cm girth at breast height (gbh) within the plot were enumerated. In all, 4614 individuals were recorded that belonged to 122 species representing 90 genera and 39 families. Fabaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Rubiaceae, and Combretaceae were the species-rich families. The mean stand density of STR was 577 ha-1, but it varied from 180 ha-1 to 779 ha-1. Similarly, the mean basal area of the STR was 14.51 m2ha-1 which ranged between 8.41 m2 ha-1 and 26.96 m2 ha-1. The stem count was low at the lowest girth class (1-10 cm gbh) and high at 20-30 cm gbh in all the forest types. Anogeissus latifolia was the dominant species in the semi- evergreen and deciduous forest types while Chloroxylon swietenia was dominant in the thorn forest.

  • 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.

Out of that 154 species belong to dicotyledons (128 genera and 52 families), 34 species belong to monocotyledons (27 genera & 5 families) and 2 species of gymnosperms (2 genera and 2 families). Habit wise grouping shows 90 (47.36%) are trees followed by 18 (9.47%) shrubs, 36 (18.94%) herbs, 27 (14.21%) climbers and 19 (10%) grasses. Among the families of angiosperms, Poaceae with 22 species is the dominant family followed by Fabaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Asteraceae, Combretaceae, Anacardiaceae, Mimosaceae, Apocynaceae and Caesalpiniaceae. Dioscorea is the dominant genus with 8 species followed by Terminalia, Ficus, Acacia, Ziziphus, Butea, Anogeisus and Bauhinia. Among the plants Tectona grandis, Shorea robusta, Acacia nilotica, Anogeissus latifolia, Terminalia alata, Bauhinia vahlii and Ziziphus oenoplia are predominant.

Conventional or synthetic drugs used in the treatment of inflammatory diseases are inadequate, it sometimes has serious side effects. So, number of herbal medicines is recommended for the treatment of inflammation that has no side effects. Hence our study focused to investigate the phytochemical analysis, quantification of bioactive compounds, in vitro free radical scavenging activity (DPPH radical method) and anti-inflammatory activity (formalin-induced paw edema) of methanolic leaves extract of Gardenia latifolia (G. latifolia) which has boundless medicinal properties. Qualitative analysis of various phytochemical constituents, quantitative analysis of total phenolics (Folins ciocalteau reagent method) and flavonoids (Aluminium chloride method), and in vitro free radical scavenging activity (DPPH radical method) were determined by the well-known test protocol available in the literature. For anti-inflammatory activity, wistar albino rats were used and divided into four groups of six animals each group and Group 1 was treated as manage (formalin (0.2 ml of 2% v/v freshly prepared formalin resolution in distilled water), group 2 was received diclofenac sodium 30mg/kg, p.o.
