Birth of several small cubs in Ranthambore. National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) said that there will be no tourism in the core

area tiger reserves in Maddhya Pradesh, according to documents filed to the HighCourt of Madhya Pradesh. The directive is a request from NGOs for a ban on tourism in these core areas. The response authority has been filed after receiving the approval of the Minister of Forestry and Environmental Jairam Ramesh.

Three main questions were asked in court: the notification of buffer zone in reserves, the prohibition of tourism in the core areas of reserves, and implement of the plan of tiger conservation.

-> Already the entrance fees will be doubled to Bandhavgarh and Kanha during some periods. The number of entries will be reduced in 2011, on the main areas (where there are tigers). Some areas will serve as a replacement, but the sightings are very poor.

India has organized a telethon for 12 hours for the tiger. They raised € 850,000.

In Panna, 2 cubs are born. Small are aged 2 months. mother is tigress was coming from Kanha. There are currently 4 cubs and 3 big tigers in Panna. A new tiger must be brought within the coming days.

Two-poachers, who had just killed a rhino, were killed by park rangers inKaziranga after an exchange of gunfire.

A beautiful new rose slightly in the month of november unnoticed because of international issues for the tiger. Two tigers were given cubs in Pench national park. A tigress eight years old had 3 cubs and another six years old had a litter of 5 cubs. 8 small cubs in total. These cubs were born in october and were discovered in november. Pench national park has always beautiful litters. Good protection in this place has a density of prey, which allows such litters. Tigress self-regulate their litters. Good density of prey + protection = large litter. The same situation exists in Bandhavgarh.

HISTORIC AGREEMENT IN ST PETERSBURG The 13 states with tigers in the wild have found common ground on a text that would prevent the extinction of this animal. Tigers jewels of nature have seen their population melt to 97% in the space of a century, because the degradation of their habitat and poaching for asian pharmacopeia. "It is very important for future generations to save the tiger, this magnificent creature, imperial" (Vladimir Putin) "We had never seen as strong political support to save one species" (Jim Leape, Director General of WWF) A large international 5-year plan aimed at doubling the population of the species by 2022. The amount of funding: 95,000,000 €: contribution of the Governments of 13 countries participating 75,000,000 €: offers the World Bank to help Bangladesh, Bhutan and Nepal 37,500,000 €: donation from the Global Environment Facility, 37,500,000 €: WWF invests over 5 years 37,500,000 €: Announcement of WCS 2020, 13,000,000 €: Germany has paid the money to rehabilitate the habitat of the cat. 6,900,000 €: United States gives to fight against poaching and trafficking, 700,000 €: Leonardo DiCaprio, generous donor, provides financial assistance and activist. The legislation strengthens: Bangladesh, prison sentences are heavier up to 12 years imprisonment for killing a tiger. India, the courts are finally willing to apply to penalties under the law of the country. Recently three poachers have taken 6 years in prison. There are still a few months these men were not convicted.

Two tigers will be transferred in December from Kanha to Panna. The population of this park being restored is 3 adults and 2 small tigers. Several villages are being relocated as well. Normally I go in April to take a look. Nothing beats the ground.

One of two male tigers in Sariska has been found dead. The second collar emits no signal for 15 days. It is probably also dead. The negligence of the authorities is emphasized in high places!? The speech is always the same as negligence. There were five tigers at Sariska transferred after the 24 tigers were killed. "We would pay attention to those who were transferred to restock, this is a world first, blah, blah, blah .."
Result: 2 of 5 dead tigers and no males, so no breeding.

What future for tigers in India?

The population of tigers in this country has fallen to a dramatically low level. And the laws of nature are such that the animals reach the age of 3 years to breed. On litters, 1/3 cubs reaches adulthood.
Meanwhile poaching acts with impunity.
In the past, the number of tigers was still important enough so that births were replacing losses due to poaching. It levied about 300 tigers/year (60/80 according to official sources, as does taking just the seizures) and the living population of these animals came to stay around 3000 individuals.

Now, the number of tigers is so low that the breakdown threshold is reached.
Births can no longer compensate and the "base station" can no longer be maintained. So ...,...

How long before the disappearance of tigers in India?

Eight new "tiger reserves" will be created. For those who would welcome this announcement, it must be said that it would be better than the 39 currently have effective protection. Only 4 or 5 are worthy of that designation, so why set of tiger reserves that are without means, without staff, without results and without motivated teams. Some are even without tigers ...

A news on a world renowned tiger: B2 (Dithoo). In late October, we saw a wound of 10 cm deep on the neck. Hopefully this is not the end of King Bandhavgarh (although close). The sequence was the same for his famous father Charger, which at the end of his reign, had faced a rival.
B2 is 13 and half old, Charger was about 15 years.

		THE NUMBER OF TIGERS DOWN BY 95% IN THE SPACE OF A CENTURY.

In that moment, there is debate among scientists. The tigers of Sunderbans are they part of a subspecies? These tigers have adapted to the mangrove area where they live. Prey are small and habitat consists of a muddy terrain. Accordingly, these tigers have evolved to weigh a hundred kilos, or 40% of the weight of a tiger of the Indian subcontinent.

Shehla Masood and Udai have organized a magnificent photo exhibition in Bhopal to seek justice for Jhurjhura tigress, killed in Bandhavgarh.
Sheila began to be heard. The Indian press and TV relay his fight.
This passion for the cause of the tiger deserves our appreciation and support

The result of the tiger census will not be known at the release date (November 2010). The main reason is malfunctioning cameras. Incompetence, there is no mention. It always the same song. There is never a charge. Whether it's for the tigers who "disappear" or in this case. It is very painful. If the tigers survive in India, it will be a miracle. I add, but maybe I'm wrong tongue, as the international meeting in November on the future of the tiger, Indian authorities have not announced a new dramatic decline in their population of tigers.

I remember what I said 5 months ago: "Tigers census may be delayed. Of the 500 cameras used, 250 were not working properly. One photo, then put in standby mode. The census began several months ago and now we see it ?! "

Two tigers will be transferred from Kanha to Panna. They are orphaned animals raised by humans.
Hope that the operation to succeed.

The Wildlife Conservation Society found that only 42 sites represent the last hope for tigers. India with 18 sites, with 8 Sumatra, Russia with 6, the others being mainly in Myanmar and Malaysia. Of the 3,000 tigers remaining in the world, 1000 are breeding females.

The sanctuaries Nagzera / Navegon and Bori just proposed to access the status of tiger reserve. Having visited one of them, the smallness of the surface is a big handicap and unfortunately not alone.

Three small cubs of Bithri, tigress of the Bandhavgarh transferred to Panna, have disappeared.

In November, the heads of government of 13 countries with wild tigers meet in St Petersburg, Russia, to decide on vital measures for the survival of the tiger. WWF launches a petition here. LET US ACT !!!

It has been decided to create a trust, the Corbett Foundation. Funding for the management and protection of the park, membership dues, entries parks, grants and international and national, etc. .. instead of being assigned to the forestry department (which squanders funds hidden ways) will be managed by this foundation. It could change significantly. In any case, I will monitor this new strategy.

The census of tigers showed up in the southern states and a decrease in the northern states. The reason is the continuity of habitat protected. Thus Mudumalai, Wyanad, Bandipur, Nagarhole parks are neighbors. There is a proposal to add an additional forest area. One reason for declining enrollment in the north is that their parks are fragmented and lined with human activity, then disruption and poaching easier.

The authorities of Bandhavgarh had promised that the three orphaned cubs (see below) would be under their protection. In this goal cubs would be put in a enclosur.

That's what has been done ... but the enclosure was not completed ...
The result is a small adult killed by a tiger. This is an example of "protection" of the forest department and the interest they have in the real tigers.

I have already said, after the conversations I had three months ago. The directors believe that there will always tigers in India. Then a more or less.

The plan for the return of cheetahs in India ahead. 18 animals are planned (six at each site). They come from Namibia, South Africa and Iran (on this last source I'm skeptical, Iran has refused). Cheetahs are predators very fragile. This reintroduction will not be easy.

Three areas were selected released. These
Khuno Palpur in Maddhya Pradesh. This park is fit to receive this reintroduction. Some villages have already been relocated to accommodate project lions.
Nauradehi in Maddhya Pradesh. This reserve can support a good amount of cheetahs. A project to relocate the villages would increase the potential host. In the past, this area was one of the best places for tigers. But poaching and deforestation has killed the leopards and tigers. The top predator is the wolf. For the cheetah, it seems that the place is well chosen (if protected)
Shagarh in Rajasthan. This space would be protected on 4000 km2 by a fence.

Nepal has a population of 155 tigers (124-229). The census was conducted from December 2009 to March 2010, Parks and Reserves of Chitwan, Bardia, Shuklaphanta and Parsa. The density is 6.53 adult tigers per 100 km2.

The fourth tiger has been transferred from Ranthambore to Sariska. This is T11, a male tiger 5 years old. I tried to see his line in the family treeI draw for years.

T11 matches Sakri female (?) as data provided by Gobind Sagar Bhardwaj, former deputy field director at Ranthambore. Well, trust Dna tests that were performed to verify that tigers are from different sources.

The male tiger is maintained for some time in a enclosure to get used to environment. Then it will be released in the wild. A female tiger should follow in a few days.

Forestry minister Jairam Ramesh has asked the Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh to provide two tigers in Sariska to reinvigorate the breed. Indeed, the genetic strain of tigers sent previously is very poor and infertile.
Refusal of Maddhya Pradesh. Finally, saving the tiger did not motivate at all. We suspected in view of protection in this state. The tiger is primarily a source of money back (tourism, subvensions and aid) that benefits primarily to corrupted persons.

Madhya Pradesh involves the installation of a breeding center for white tigers in Rewa. Even if the story of these tigers is from this city, is not well understood interest of this initiative. It will be just a commercial purpose, the white tiger with no scientific value. Should we spend money in this project, while the wild tiger is much needed help? Expected new rules for the use of tourist parks. Significant restrictions are considered.

The 3 little tigers of Bandhavgarh orphans have been transferred to Bhopal zoo. In the past, a number of tigers of the park (cub of Churbara, etc ...) have been sent to Bhopal and some are already dead.

The Tiger Reserve Tadoba has grown 11 young tigers inside and 6 on the edge. This park is really important with a high concentration of big cats. Expansion plans have not yet mature, but the industrial mines, them, in an attempt to destroy a part of the park.

Census of tigers may be late. Of the 500 cameras used, 250 were not working properly. One photo, then put in standby mode. The census began several months ago and now that it perceives?!
Ah! that they have refused me permission (promised) to participate in the counting. It would have won two months. Really India, everything is possible, even more unlikely. Not all that encouraging.

All these ads concern me more than they comfort me. In the past, it had inflated the figures to respond to criticism. Primary outcomes are positive so surprising ...

Palamau reserve listing with 6 tigers. This park is the site of action of naxals who poach and attack the rangers. That there are still tigers is a good surprise.

Assam forest announces density of tigers 24 for 100km2.

Maddhya Pradesh minister of forests Sartaj Singh announced a total of 425 tigers in the state.

Bandhavgarh: Administration has closed the lodge Tiger Heaven "whose owner, KK Pandey former veterinarian attached to the park, is involved in the death of Jhurjura.

Rajesh Gopal, NTCA in the report, said that the lodge was closed to preserve evidence. The report mentions that the vet was sitting in one of 3 vehicles that struck the tigress. Also, a complaint was filed by the wife of a driver trapped.

What new elements will bring this complaint? Why this late hour? Why KK Pandey allowed to participate in the autopsy, so he is involved in this death?

Hopefully the truth be known to all, that all the guilty are punished and that the protection of the park makes a leap forward.

In 15 days, two tigers more will be transferred from Ranthambore to Sariska. DNA tests are done to the tiger and the tigress to be made are not parents of three tigers in Sariska in place.-

Bandhavgarh: No news on the action taken on the death of Jhurjura. But since it's personalities (including a minister's son), let us not delude ourselves ....

Two roads in the park have been closed to tourism. The director announces major changes for the next tourist season including a restriction of vehicles to 20.
Suffice to say that the relations will serve ...

I have two french friends who will be there for a few days here. They will test the park and give me their feelings end june.

Let us recall, last year, a small cub 3 months old had been killed by a jeep. This time it is Jhurjura who is killed.

Bad news, the death of a tiger in Bandhavgarh. The contradictory information on the causes and sex of the animal? What seems certain is age 3 years, and the area, Tala Bokha territory.

---> Well actually, it's the tigress Jhurjura who died. False trails were created to hide responsibility. The autopsy revealed the truth. A jeep had killed the tigress ...

Jhurjura tigress was very attentive towards his cubs. I have often photographed around Rajbhera dam, alone or with her cubs. Jhurjura was born in April 2002. Daughter of Dithoo (B2) and Chakradara. She had three litters: the first in April 2005 with two cubs, the second in December 2007 with 3 cubs and the last in January 2010 with three cubs. She leaves three orphaned small cubs who don't survive unfortunately. I'm sad. We just lost four tigers at once. All lovers of Bandhavgarh will remember the many observations that Jhurjura gave us. The conservation of tigers lost a tigress essential to the survival of the species. Young and experienced, she would have raised many tigers and it would have to dream much longer.

Very good news. The tigress Bithri, from Bandhavgarh and transported in Panna, has just given birth to three cubs. Now they have three weeks and are doing well. They just open their eyes.

Result of the population census of asian lions in Gir: 411 individuals, representing an increase of 13% compared to 2005. This performance was achieved thanks to effective protection established by the state of Gujarat..
