Dispersing Tadoba tigers to be radio collared
(At the last count, there…)
NAGPUR: For the first time in the country, a massive exercise to study
and understand the movement of tigers will be undertaken from next year.
It entails radio-collaring a number of dispersing wildcats in and
around Tadoba, in Chandrapur district.
The Rs 1.70 crore project - long-term comprehensive monitoring of tigers, co-predators, and prey animals- has been approved for five years, beginning March 2013, but may be extended for another five if the need arises. The National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) will chip in with Rs 1.15 crore while the rest of the funds will come from the Maharashtra government.
