  • Country's First Inter-State Translocation of Tigers Project
    Country’s first inter-state translocation of tigers project December 10, 2020 In news Madhya Pradesh CM wrote to Odisha CM, asking him to ensure that Sundari – a tigress shifted as part of India’s first inter-state translocation project in 2018 –is kept in proper care and appropriate environment until the Ghorela centre in Kanha Tiger Reserve is ready to accommodate her. Why did the translocation project come up? In the last 16 years, Odisha’s tiger population has reduced by 104 from 132 in 2002 to 28 in 2018. In the backdrop of this, NTCA in September-November 2017 had approved a project to augment and recover tiger population in Satkosia tiger reserve (963 sqkm) in Odisha. Consequent to this, permission was granted to capture two tigers from tiger reserves in Madhya Pradesh. NTCA also took technical help of Wildlife Institute of India (WII), Dehradun. Inter-state translocation project in 2018 and the controversy over it Mahavir and Sundari were the first pair of tiger and tigress sent to Satkosia from MP’s Panna Tiger Reserve and Bandhavghar respectively as part of the translocation project. The two states have been at loggerheads over the relocation of Sundari after she killed two villagers living in the peripheral of Satkosia Tiger Reserve in Odisha a few months after being brought in from Madhya Pradesh. Both states then wrote to the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA), with Odisha urging that Sundari be sent back while Madhya Pradesh remained reluctant. This project was suspended by NTCA, a statutory body under MoEFCC monitoring tiger reserves, after it found that “pre-requisite conditions for reintroduction of tigers were not followed”.

  • Geology of Eastern Ghats in Andhra Pradesh
    GEOLOGY OF EASTERN GHATS IN ANDHRA PRADESH BY A. SRIRAaMADAS (Geology Departrael;t, Andhra UMversity, Waltair) Received October 2, 1967 (Communicated by Prof. C. S. Pi¢lmmuthu,t.A.sc.) ABSTRACT The lithology, structure, metamorphism and stratigraphy of the granite gneisses, charnoekite series, khondalite series and .granites occur- ring in the Eastern Ghats of Andhra Pradesh are described. The granite gneisses consist of the garnetiferous granite gneiss, the grey granite gneiss and porphyritic granite gneiss. The charnockite series consists of granite, diorite, gabbro, norite, amphibolite and pyroxenite. The khondalite series comprises gneisses, schists, quattzites, and granulites, metamorphosed from argillaceous, arenaceous and calcareous sediments. The granites include the pink granites and pegmatites. The formations are highly folded with thrusts and strike slip faults. The granite gneisses, charnockite series and khondalite series are metamorphosed to the gra. nulite facies, with a few members in the amphibolite facies and occasional members in the eclogite facies. Some granite gneisses are the oldest rocks present, and others contempolaneous with charnockite selies, which are themselves older than or contemporaneous with the khondalite series. The pink granites and pegmatites are the youngest rocks of the region. LOCATION TttE Eastern Ghats in Andhra Pradesh are situated between Latitudes 16° and 19 °, and Longitudes 80 ° and 85 ° , and stretch for about 350 miles from Srikakulam District in the north, through Visakhapatnam, Godavari and Krishna Districts, to Guntur District in the south. They include Kurupam, Madugula, Anantagiri, Gudem, Chodavaram, Papikonda, Kondapalli and Kondavidu hill ranges. GEOLOGICAL FORMATIONS Fermor ~1936) included the Eastern Ghsts in the garnetiferous type (manganese ore) marble provine belonging to the charnockite region.

  • An Ethnozoological Study in the Areas of Satkosia Wildlife Sanctuary, Angul, Odisha,India Dr
    IJREAS VOLUME 6, ISSUE 2 (February, 2016) (ISSN 2249-3905) International Journal of Research in Engineering and Applied Sciences (IMPACT FACTOR – 5.981) An ethnozoological study in the areas of Satkosia wildlife sanctuary, Angul, Odisha,India Dr. Bishnu Charan Pradhan Dept. of Zoology Angul Mahila mahavidyalaya, Angul,Odisha, India 759122 Abstract There is evidence that human beings are familiar with use of animals for food, cloth, medicine, etc. since ancient times. Enormous work has been done on ethnobotany and traditional medicine. Like plants, animal and their products are also possessing medicinal properties that can be exploited for the benefit of human beings. In India, many ethnic communities are dispersed all over the country and these people are still totally depended on local traditional medicinal system for their health care. India is gifted with faunal and floral biodiversity, Satakosia wildlife sanctuary is also one of them, and thus the aim of this work was to take an ethnozoological field survey among Kandha, Kolha, Santal and Sabar people (main tribal groups of this area) in the adjoining areas of this sanctuary. Introduction :- The total population of Orissa as at 0:00 hours of 1st March 2001 stood at 36,706,920 as per the provisional results of the Census of India 2001. In terms of population it holds the same position (eleventh) among States and Union territories as at the previous census. The population of the State rose by 15.94% between 1991-2001. The sex ratio (i.e., the number of females per thousand males) of population was recorded as 972.

  • 6. Water Quality ------61 6.1 Surface Water Quality Observations ------61 6.2 Ground Water Quality Observations ------62 7
    Version 2.0 Krishna Basin Preface Optimal management of water resources is the necessity of time in the wake of development and growing need of population of India. The National Water Policy of India (2002) recognizes that development and management of water resources need to be governed by national perspectives in order to develop and conserve the scarce water resources in an integrated and environmentally sound basis. The policy emphasizes the need for effective management of water resources by intensifying research efforts in use of remote sensing technology and developing an information system. In this reference a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed on December 3, 2008 between the Central Water Commission (CWC) and National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to execute the project “Generation of Database and Implementation of Web enabled Water resources Information System in the Country” short named as India-WRIS WebGIS. India-WRIS WebGIS has been developed and is in public domain since December 2010 (www.india- wris.nrsc.gov.in). It provides a ‘Single Window solution’ for all water resources data and information in a standardized national GIS framework and allow users to search, access, visualize, understand and analyze comprehensive and contextual water resources data and information for planning, development and Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). Basin is recognized as the ideal and practical unit of water resources management because it allows the holistic understanding of upstream-downstream hydrological interactions and solutions for management for all competing sectors of water demand. The practice of basin planning has developed due to the changing demands on river systems and the changing conditions of rivers by human interventions.

J 1 and U. Shameem 2 Research Scholar, Dept. of Zoology, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India 1 Professor, Dept. of Zoology, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India2 ABSTRACT: Fish faunal bio diversity in the Meghadrigedda reservoir was studied from September-2014 to August- 2015. Fish samples were collected once in every fortnight with the help of local fishermen by using local fishing Craft and Gear. A total of 55 species of fishes were identified belonging to 9 orders such as Osteoglossiformes (01 species), Cypriniformes (24 species), Ciprinodentiformes (01 species), Siluriformes (13species), Angulliformes (01 species), Beloniformes (01 species), Channiformes (03 species), Mastacembaliformes (03 species) and Perciformes (08 species). The number and percentage composition of population status were calculated to 36.36% common, 29.09% abundant, 20.0% moderate, and 14.55% rare species were identified in the Meghadrigedda reservoir. During this study, 42 species of fishes are least concerned (LC), 05 species are near threatened (NT), 04 are not evaluated (NE), 02 species of fish are vulnerable (VU), and 01 each as endangered (ED) and data deficient (DD) were reported. IUCN (2004.2), CAMP (1998) status and Shannon-Weiner diversity (H-), Evenness (E), Hmax = ln(S) Maximum diversity possible and species richness (S) for different months were calculated.
