We pay tribute to the Sariska tigers and their resilience, supported by the efforts of the ethnic minorities living in Sariska Tiger National Park.
Their population has more than doubled in 5 years, from 14 individuals in 2017-18 to 33 individuals today.
Special thanks to the women for their direct contribution to digging the monsoon water retention ponds for tigers, wildlife and livestock.
Our thanks also to,
- Communities for having developed self-fine system for combating illegal activities; cutting trees, poaching wildlife and tigers.
- Communities’ volunteers for keeping surveillance on the forest in their village vicinity and reporting any illegal activities to park rangers.
- Project team have regular interaction with Tiger Reserve’s staff and rangers. KRAPAVIS also invited them to in the interfaces with communities, recently animal specialist from Sariska Tiger Reserve made a presentation in our workshop.
With limited financial means, as is the case in all conservation activities 😉 but with our commitment intact, KRAPAVIS and I are delighted to be able to continue implementing the project: Integrating tiger conservation and coexistence in Sariska Tiger Reserve.
