Spoke to Mr. Gupta, Divisional Forest Officer, Sariska to find out about the progress being made by the two tigers, T10-the male and Bacchi-the female. After a while Bacchi has also moved out of her enclosure. Both are surveying territories in the range of 5-7 km and falling back close to the enclosures. Sufficient prey is available and the tigers are not going hungry.
The relocation may aggravate man-animal conflict in the park as there are over two dozen small villages in the park. Only one village, Bagani, has been rehabilitated so far. A public road passes through the park which also poses threat to the safety of the animals. Presence of a temple inside the park is another issue which defies solution.
As i have said before in a post, this is the best opportunity before the state government and the residents of Sariska to learn from Ranthambhore model and benefit from the win-win situation.

Great effort by the WILD officials, Trust me they can do BETTER. Align your action with the with the existing police force and make a joint action plan, If sansar chand can kill 20 in a year , he can kill 2 more , prevention is required , cure is temporary.
Nice blog. Many pertinent issues have been raised. Will come back for more posts....
So far Sariska is concerned, you may find sariskastory.blogspot.com useful for the complete picture since 2005... i have just put together my reports there a few days back...
Thanks, Jay. The idea is to build a momentum to conserve wildlife. When all of us come together, it really becomes nice.
