Tigers in trouble

Kanha Tiger Reserve is the most popular National Park for tiger safari in India. Kanha harbors amazing biodiversity and offers best sightings mammals, birds and reptiles not forgetting the winged wonders butterflies marvel of Indian wildlife. This gem of a paradise is facing trouble in recent time from heavy influx of tiger tourism which thankfully has been curbed to adequate levels by the action of park authorities. In short gate fees have been hiked and number of vehicles entering for game safari has been restricted.

But the recent discovery of snares in various areas of the park has created a panic among the management. This has never happened before. It is unofficially reported that the number of snare is as much as seventeen.

The latest buzz going on is that one large male tiger “Kunda” was trapped in the snare and rescued but with a paw injured. He recently succumbed in a a territorial fight with another male tiger.

The report though unofficial is substantiated by the news paper reports of a large gang of poachers entering Central India. Kanha would be the most obvious target and not much guess is required. Along with Kanha, Bandhavgarh and Pench tiger reserves are also the target since they harbor large tiger populations as per statistics.

There are some tribes which are professional hunters and notorious among them is the “Bel Pardhi” tribe which have become the scourge of wildlife management in India. To make matters worse notorious poacher and smuggle “Darra” is at large after being granted bail from the court in Madhya Pradesh.

If anti poaching activity is lax than it augurs bad for the tigers in India. Contact me for more information.Uday Patel
