Keri: Wildlife Division of the Department of Goa Forest prepares to carry out the 2022 tiger census exercises.
After every four years, the Indian Tiger Census carried out by the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA), with the technical assistance of the Wildlife Institute of India and state forest officials.
In front of the estimated all Indian Tiger 2021-22, NTCA-Southern Zone has carried out a three-day training program, attended by forest officials from Goa.
The Ministry of Forestry personnel underwent training at the Tabadadu Forest Training Center at Madumalai Tiger Reserve in Nilgiris.
“We have appointed Jabestin Arulraj as Nodal officers for the 2022 tiger census.
Our officials have used the training and preparation needed for the census,” said the Principal of additional forest conservators for Goa, Santosh Kumar.
In neighboring Karnataka, forest officials have begun working on their tiger census from January 22, on Tiger times.
Tiger Reserve times shared their limits with Mhadei Wildlife Sanctuary and Netrevali wildlife asylum from Goa.
In addition to the camera trap, Karnataka utilizes the M-Stripe application for assessments during the pathway and direct sighting surveys.
Camera traps, in the past recently, have shown the presence of five tigers in the Tillari area, Chandgad and Amboli in Maharashtra.
Likewise, the camera trap installed by the Goa Forest Department indicates the existence of two women and one male tiger in the Mhadei region.
The Indian tiger population is the largest for any country, accounting of more than 80% of the global population of 3,159-free tigers.
The tiger task unit appointed by the Prime Minister in 2005 mandated four-annual monitoring of the tiger population based on the methodology developed by the Wildlife Institute of India.
The assessment of the Indian national tiger is the largest biodiversity survey conducted anywhere in the world.
In Goa, from 754.96 SQKM protected areas, around 587 SQKM proposed as a core zone for tiger reserves and around 167 SQKM as a buffer zone.
