Nature Conservation

On 13th November a forest ranger had come to talk to us about nature conservation and how we can save animals. he gave us some ideas that were already being done and in progress. he also told us how the ideas that they were thought of were helping.

First he told us about the history on the the place… In 1977 it was a Sanctuary, then in 1983 it became a National Park, and then in 1993 it became what it is today- a Tiger reserve.

He said that because the population of tigers increased they needed to make more areas, and those areas were called: Buffer Areas. Another reason they made buffer areas is that all of the tigers aren't all safe in one place. Because of this issue they came up with an idea: that since another national park- Kanha is close to Pench, they decided to make a tiger corridoor from Pench to Kanha or vica verca. This helped give tigers a larger space to be in and more area and then they can survive in both places. Because if there is good atmosphere there are more numbers.

Another problem that came up was poaching… because of this they started patroling in the night and in the day. They did this for security. They have patroling camps every 5km. They make sure that everything is safe and they find out if something is wrong- They made sure that there were no electric lines and that there were no traps.
