This report provides a comprehensive management effectiveness evaluation of the Protected Areas Network in India. It also includes the assessment criteria for management effectiveness evaluation (MEE) of PA network in India - site level.

This report evaluates the current status of tigers, co-predators and their prey in India. It is the outcome of a country-wide effort to scientifically determine the occupancy, population limits, habitat condition and connectivity, so as to guide conservation planning for ensuring the survival of free ranging tigers.

This report describes the current and recent past geographical range of the tiger. It provides spatial data on tiger distribution at the tehsil level and its associated landscape characterization; a precursor for land use planning incorporating conservation concerns and priorities.

Effect of anthropogenic disturbance on habitat occupancy by tiger prey species was studied in Panna National Park (PNP), Madhya Pradesh. The study was conducted between November 1998 and April 1999. Line-transect method and pellet-count technique were used to estimate prey species abundance. Abundance estimates were used as a measure for intensity of habitat use by the species.
