Jorhat, Nov. 28: Orang National Park will sign an MoU with the WWF (World Wildlife Fund) shortly to work jointly to minimise the increasing incidents of conflict between the Royal Bengal tigers and humans in recent times.

The park has witnessed a rise in tiger population, which has resulted in the big cats straying out of the smallest national park in the state frequently.

CP1, a tiger introduced in the Sariska Reserve on August 28, 2008 aspart of the relocation programme, was found dead in the Tehlarange on Sunday. The carcass was consigned to flames on Monday.

JAIPUR: Union Minister of State for Environment and Forests Jairam Ramesh announced in Sariska on Wednesday Rs.30 crore for shifting villages from the Sariska Tiger Reserve.

Buffer zones: Junglescapes volunteers at an interaction with the village residents.

For the nearly 25 families living in Lokkere on the eastern fringes of the Bandipur tiger reserve in Karnataka life is difficult.

Elephants and wild boar often raid the crops they cultivate on tiny strips of land, and an entire season's hard work gets wiped out in one night.

Taking a serious note of the incident chief minister Ashok Gehlot ordered suspension of two senior wildlife officials at Sariska
The mystery over the death of translocated tiger ST-1 at Sariska deepened as authorities failed to ascertain the exact cause of the big cat.

A large section of wildlife experts in Madhya Pradesh are of the strong view that tigers should be relocated in the Panna Tiger Reserve with extreme caution and there should be tough action on ground to protect the existing buffer zone surrounding this Protected Area.

The Panna landscape is going through reckless fragmentation, mainly due to the pressure of rapidly expanding mining activity.

JAIPUR: Overcrowding and a skewed sex ratio at the Ranthambore tiger reserve could leave a telling effect on the future of the sanctuary.

Forest officials at Sariska Tiger Reserve are a worried lot.
