Preserving what's Precious / Tiger & Corridor Conservation

Corridors connecting the protected tiger reserves are lifelines to allow gene-flow between wild populations, to maintain biodiversity and tiger habitats. Unfortunately they suffer immense anthropogenic pressure due to excessive land-use by local communities. The project focused on conservation of tiger and associated species by preserving the corridor between Bandhavgarh and Sanjay Dubri tiger reserves in Central India through long-term measures. Restoration of identified degraded forest areas, curbing accidental deaths, water availability using solar pumps and alternate livelihoods to reduce community dependence on forests being the pivotal.
