PROJECT TIGER

Project Tiger Scheme :

Project Tiger Scheme has been under implementation since 1973 as a Centrally
Sponsored Scheme of Government of India.

Objective :

The main objective of Project Tiger is to ensure a viable population of tiger in India
for scientific , economic , aesthetic , cultural and ecological values and to preserve
for all time, areas of biological importance as a natural heritage for the benefit,
education and enjoyment of the people. Main objectives under the scheme include
wildlife management, protection measures and site specific ecodevelopment to
reduce the dependency of local communities on tiger reserve resources.

Initially, the Project started with 9 tiger reserves, covering an area of 16,339 sq.km.,
with a population of 268 tigers. At present there are 27 tiger reserves covering an
area of 37761 sq.km., with a population of 1498 tigers. This amounts to almost
1.14% of the total geographical area of the country. The selection of reserves was
guided by representation of ecotypical wilderness areas across the biogeographic
range of tiger distribution in the country. Project Tiger is undisputedly a custodian
of major gene pool. It is also a repository of some of the most valuable ecosystem
and habitats for wildlife.

Tiger Reserves are constituted on a 'core-buffer' strategy. The core area is kept free
of biotic disturbances and forestry operations, where collection of minor forest
produce, grazing, human disturbances are not allowed within. However, the buffer
zone is managed as a ‘multiple use area’ with twin objectives of providing habitat
supplement to the spill over population of wild animals from the core conservation
unit, and to provide site specific ecodevelopmental inputs to surrounding villages
for relieving their impact on the core. Except for the National Parks portion if
contained within, normally no relocation of villages is visualised in the buffer area,
and forestry operations, NTFP collection and other rights and concessions to the
local people are permitted in a regulated manner to complement the initiatives in the
core unit.

Project Tiger has put the tiger on an assured course of recovery from the brink of
extinction, and has resurrected the floral and faunal genetic diversity in some of our
unique and endangered wilderness ecosystem. The population of tigers in the
country has increased significantly to about 4000 from less than 2000 at the time of
launch of the project.

The effective protection and concerted conservation measures inside the reserves
have brought about considerable intangible achievements also, viz. arresting
erosion, enrichment of water regime thereby improving the water table and overall
habitat resurrection. Labor intensive activities in tiger reserves have helped in
poverty alleviation amongst the most backward sections, and their dependence on
forests has also reduced. The project has been instrumental in mustering local
support for conservation programme in general.

Approach:
Key Threatening Processes :

What is an Endangered Species?

Endangered means danger of the species becoming extinct or dying out.

Tigers are facing major population losses & extinction. Tigers are killed for sport, skins &
body parts. The 1950s saw extinction of the Caspian tiger. The Bali and Java tiger are also
extinct. The last Bali tiger was killed in 1937; the last Javan tiger was seen in 1972. India
today has the largest number of tigers, with between 3,600 to 4,000. The South China tiger
(20-30 are remaining), is nearly extinct in the wild.

Reasons for the Endangered Status :

The Bengal tiger is endangered because it is poached for its body parts to cater to an illegal
market. Another reason is habitat loss due to depletion of forest cover interference of humans
and encrochment of forest land by people causing fragmentation. At the turn of the century,
there were almost reportedly 40,000 tigers in India, but now only around 4,000 remain in the
wild.

Why Save Tigers?

Tiger is symbol of wilderness and well-being of the ecosystem. By conserving and saving
tigers the entire wilderness ecosystem is conserved. In nature, barring human beings and their
domesticates, rest of the ecosystem is wild. Hence conserving wilderness is important and
crucial to maintain the life support system. So saving tiger amounts to saving the ecosystem
which is crucial for man's own survival.

Past, Present & Future :

Past

Project Tiger: Project Tiger, launched in 1973-74, is one of our most successful conservation
ventures in the recent times. The project aims at tiger conservation in specially constituted
'tiger reserves', which are representative of various bio-geographical regions falling within
our country. It strives to maintain a viable tiger population in the natural environment.

An estimate of the tiger population in India, at the turn of the century, placed the figure at
40,000. Subsequently, the first ever all India tiger census was conducted in 1972 which
revealed the existence of only 1827 tigers. Various pressures in the later part of the last
century led to the progressive decline of wilderness, resulting in the disturbance of viable
tiger habitats. At the IUCN General Assembly meeting in Delhi, in 1969, serious concern was
voiced about the threat to several species of wildlife and the shrinkage of wilderness in the
country. In 1970, a national ban on tiger hunting was imposed and in 1972 the Wildlife
Protection Act came into force. A 'Task Force' was then set up to formulate a project for tiger
conservation with an ecological approach.
The project was launched in 1973, and various tiger reserves were created in the country on a
'core-buffer' strategy. The core areas were freed from all sorts of human activities and the
buffer areas were subjected to 'conservation oriented land use'. Management plans were
drawn up for each tiger reserve, based on the principles outlined below:

1. Elimination of all forms of human exploitation and biotic disturbance from the core area
and rationalization of activities in the buffer zone.

2. Restricting the habitat management only to repair the damages done to the eco-system by
human and other interferences, so as to facilitate recovery of the eco-system to its natural
state.

3. Monitoring the faunal and floral changes over time and carrying out research about
wildlife.

Initially, 9 tiger reserves were established in different States during the period 1973-74, by
pooling the resources available with the Central and State Governments. These nine reserves
covered an area of about 13,017sq.km-viz Manas (Assam), Palamau (Bihar), Similipal
(Orissa), Corbett (U.P.), Kanha (M.P.), Melghat (Maharashtra), Bandipur (Karnataka),
Ranthambhore (Rajasthan) and Sunderbans (West Bengal).

The project started as a 'Central Sector Scheme' with the full assistance of Central
Government till 1979-80: later, it become a 'centrally Sponsored Scheme' from 1980-81, with
equal sharing of expenditure between the center and the states.

The W.W.F. has given an assistance of US $ 1 million in the form of equipments, expertise
and literature. The various States are also bearing the loss on account of giving up the
forestry operations in the reserves.
The main achievements of this project are excellent recovery of the habitat and consequent
increase in the tiger population in the reserve areas, from a mere 268 in 9 reserves in 1972 to
1576 in 27 reserves in 2003. Tiger, being at the apex of the food chain, can be considered as
the indicator of the stability of the eco-system. For a viable tiger population, a habitat should
possess a good prey base, which in turn will depend on undisturbed forest vegetation. Thus,
'Project Tiger', is basically the conservation of the entire eco-system and apart from tigers, all
other wild animals also have increased in number in the project areas. In the subsequent 'Five
Year Plans', the main thrust was to enlarge the core and buffer zones in certain reserves,
intensification of protection and eco development in the buffer zones of existing tiger
reserves, creation of additional tiger reserves and strengthening of the research activities.

The management strategy was to identify the limiting factors and to mitigate them by suitable
management. The damages done to the habitat were to be rectified, so as to facilitate the
recovery of eco-system to the maximum possible extent. Management practices which tend to
push the wildlife populations beyond the carrying capacity of the habitat were carefully
avoided. A minimum core of 300 sq. km. with a sizeable buffer was recommended for each
project area. The overall administration of the project is monitored by a 'Steering Committee'.
The execution of the project is done by the respective State Governments. A 'Field Director'
is appointed for each reserve, who is assisted by the field and technical personnel. The Chief
Wildlife warden in various States are responsible for the field execution. At the Centre, a full-
fledged 'Director' of the project coordinates the work for the country.
Present                                                                                                              

Wireless communication system and outstation patrol camps have been developed within the
tiger reserves, due to which poaching has declined considerably. Fire protection is effectively
done by suitable preventive and control measure Voluntory Village relocation has been done
in many reserves, especially from the core, area. In Kanha, Bandipur and Ranthambhore, all
the villages have been shifted from the core, and after relocation, the villagers have been
provided with alternate agricultural lands and other community benefits. This has resulted in
the improvement of the carrying capacity of the habitat. Live stock grazing has been
controlled to a great extent in the tiger reserves. Various compensatory developmental works
have improved the water regime and the ground and field level vegetations, thereby
increasing the animal density. Research data pertaining to vegetational changes are also
available from many reserves. In general, the 'restorative management' and 'intense
protection' under 'Project Tiger' have saved many of our eco-typical areas from destruction.
The area around the buffer is now contemplated as a zone of multiple use, to bring
compatibility between the reserves and the neighbouring communities.

Future                                                                                    

a) Use of Information and Communication technology in Wildlife Protection and Crime

Risk Management in Tiger reserves:

Wildlife protection and crime risk management in the present scenario requires a widely
distributed Information Network, using the state-of-art Information and Communication
Technology. This becomes all the more important to ensure the desired level of protection in
field formations to safeguard the impressive gains of a focused project like 'Project Tiger'.
The important elements in Wildlife protection and control are: Mapping/plotting the relative
spatial abundance of wild animals, identification of risk factors, proximity to risk factors,
sensitivity categorization, crime mapping and immediate action for apprehending the
offenders based on effective networking and communication. Space technology has shown
the interconnectivity of natural and anthropogenic phenomena occurring anywhere on earth.
Several Tiger Reserves are being linked with the Project Tiger Directorate in the GIS domain
for Wildlife Crime Risk Management.

b) GIS based digitized database and MIS development/networking in Tiger Reserves:

With the advanced IT tools, a wide gamut of software solutions are available to improve
wildlife related information capture process, its analysis and informed decision making.
Geographic Information System is the most relevant of these technologies for natural
resource management projects, including wildlife management. The mandate of project tiger
is to conserve tigers in a holistic manner. The GIS based database at PTHQ is being linked
with the microcomputers in the Tiger Reserves, so that a dynamic linkage for rapid
information flow is established using Arc IMS facility.

c) Tiger Habitat & Population Evaluation System for the Indian Sub Continent :
A 'Tiger Atlas of India' and a 'Tiger Habitat & Population Evaluation System for the country
is being developed using the state- of- the- art technology.

This involves:

1. Mapping, data acquisition and GIS modeling.

2. Field data collection and validation.

3. Data Maintenance, Dissemination and Use.

Satellite data is being used and classified into vegetation and land use maps on a 1:50,000
scale, with digitized data relating to contour , villages, roads , drainage , administrative
boundaries and soil . The spatial layers would be attached with attribute data , viz. human
population , livestock population , meteorological data, agricultural information and field data
pertaining to wildlife, habitat for evolving regional protocols to monitor tiger and its habitat.

Vision For the Future :

The dynamics of forest management and wildlife conservation have been distorted due to
need for income, lack of awareness, lack of land use policy and population pressure. Since
the traditional use systems of people are neither static nor benign, these should not be
overlooked.

A regional development approach in landscapes having Tiger Reserves is of utmost

importance in our country. It should be viewed as a mosaic of different land use patterns, viz,
tiger conservation / preservation, forestry, sustainable use and development, besides socio-
economic growth.

Tiger habitats exist in environments of thousands of indigenous communities which depend

on them. Therefore we cannot view these protected areas in isolation from the surrounding
socio-economic realities and developmental priorities of the Govt. This calls for a cross-
sectoral and cross-disciplinary approach.

Tigers now need a "preservationist" approach. Regional planning is important around Tiger
Reserves to foster ecological connectivity between protected areas through restorative inputs
with integrated land use planning. The management plan of a Tiger Reserve, therefore, needs
to be integrated in larger regional management plans.

Global Tiger Forum
The establishment of the Global Tiger Forum was a major recommendation of the Delhi
Declaration adopted at the International Symposium on the Tiger held at New Delhi
from 22-24 February 1993. An outline of the mandate for the Global Tiger Forum is
reproduced below.

India being custodian of more than 60% of the world's tiger population will take a
leading role in coordinating the setting up of Global Tiger Forum and the Voluntary
Participative Fund for protection of the tiger.

Considering that the tiger, throughout its range in India, Nepal, China, Bhutan,
Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Russia is
threatened and in some places is becoming critically endangered.

The principal cause of the decline of the population is organized poaching for skins,
bones and other tiger derivatives. This seriously undermines the dedicated efforts of
range countries to preserve their population. The survival of the tiger now is a matter of
international concern.

The Government of India, therefore, proposes the setting up of a Global Tiger Forum of
range countries and other international organizations working for tiger conservation to
embark on a world-wide campaign to save the tiger.

India as the initiating country offers itself as the first chair of such a Forum. The chair
may be rotated amongst the member countries.

The meetings of the Forum are to be held at regular intervals (not exceeding 12 months).

The Forum will:

1. monitor the problems facing the tiger in the world and work out effective
strategies and solutions for future implementation for the survival of the species.
2. co-ordinate multi-pronged research efforts across tiger range countries to
generate a proper database accessible to all range states.
3. Help the countries to develop and exchange among themselves appropriate
technologies and training programmes for scientific wildlife management.
4. embark on an international publicity campaign against the use of tiger bones and
skins either for medicinal derivatives or fashion throughout the world.
5. Develop an effective intelligence system to obtain information about poaching,
poacher and their network leading to capture and conviction of key persons
involved throughout the globe.

It is required to set up a participative fund of an appropriate size from donors to be

placed at the disposal of the Forum to meet its expenses and fund its commitments
towards its objectives. It is proposed that the first meeting of the member countries and
institutions be held in New Delhi in the month of November-December 1993 to discuss
in addition to the above mentioned points the articles of association, rules of business
and setting up of a Secretariat.

Government Initiatives :

Protection/Conservation measures taken by Government of India

Coordination with other Departments and State Governments:

(a) A special co-ordination committee under the chairmanship of the Secretary (E&F)
Govt. of India has been constituted which includes Special Secretary (Home), Director,
Central Bureau of Investigation and Director, Narcotics Control Bureau.

(b) CBI has been empowered for investigation of wildlife offence cases and a
notification in this respect has been issued.

(c) Better coordination has been maintained with NGOs regarding wildlife offences and
information is exchanged with them.

(d) A National Conference of Forests & Environment Ministers of State Governments

was held in January 2001, and a resolution known as "Coimbatore Charter" was
adopted. The resolution on forest and wildlife includes providing compensation against
wildlife depredation, filling up the vacancies of forest department and reorganizing field
formations, providing effective enforcement infrastructure in the field and to designate
special courts for wildlife offences.

(e) Secretary (E&F) Govt. of India has taken meetings with State Chief Secretaries
