The other good news is that, the MoEF has set up a high quality technological management system for protecting tigers. The system would involve the usage of world class GPS systems for counting and monitoring tigers in protected reserves. The system, 'M-Stripes', launched by the Ministry of Environment and Forests is a joint collaboration between National Tiger Conservation Authority(NTCA), Wildlife Institute of India(WII), and the Zoological Society of London. The pilot project would be initially started in 6 tiger reserves, that is, Corbett, Ranthambhore, Kanha, Bhadra, Nagarjuna Sagar Srisailam, & Anamalai. It will subsequently be extended to all the other 33 reserves.
To be continued.......
