Bhopal: Efforts made for Wild Life Conservation during the last few years in the state have been lauded in the country and abroad. These efforts of Madhya Pradesh are also being emulating by other states. Relocation of tigers in Panna, White Tiger Safari in Mukundpur, shifting of Barasingha from Kanha to VanVihar and Satpura, successful relocation of Gour and Krishnamrig etc. and efforts made for increasing the population for on the verge of extinct species have proved successful. Moreover, the Forest Department has also achieved a big success in shifting Rojhados, which used to destroy crops, without causing harm to them in the forest. It has been observed that normally wild life management is limited only to the habitation of the forest animals in the country.
Owing to the wild life management, the population of tigers is growing constantly in the state. The forest workers have successfully released 8 orphan cubs in the forest by raising and teaching them to hunt. The herbivorous forest animals have been relocated from their densely populated area. Over 1400 Cheetals have been relocated to Ratapani, Fen Sanctuary, Kanha, Satpura and Tiger Reserve till now.
Moreover, remarkable efforts have been made in Madhya Pradesh to increase the population of vultures, which were almost on the verge of extinction in the state. For the first time, population of vultures has been calculated twice in the state. Over 7 thousand vultures of 7 species were found in 35 districts of the state. A vulture breeding center has been established at Kerwa dam near Bhopal. A separate team for wild life control and dog squad has been formed. State has 16 regional wild life rescue squads. Total 30 tigers and 22 leopards have been rescued till now in the state from 2009.
The Wild Life Research Institute, camera traps and solar lights are being fully utilized for wildlife management. Keeping in view the growing population of tigers, EI surveillance system has been installed at Mendora on the border of Bhopal.
Training is being given by selecting 50 to 60 volunteers from the local villagers in the form of Bagh-Mitra for better safety of tigers and human beings. Compensation is provided against loss to the life of human being, injury and loss to the life of animal. Moreover, there is an arrangement for compensation against damage to the crop. Intelligence mechanism has been developed to prevent forest crimes and arrangement of patrolling camp has been made in the sensitive areas.-Window To News
