In October, our Tadoba team organized sapling distribution and planting in the Moharli cluster. Shri K.V. Dhankute (Round Officer based at Moharli) participated in the distribution of saplings to school children for planting in their homes. The saplings were provided free of cost by the Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve (buffer wing). Species distributed included neem, anjan, karanj, kavat, shesam and jamun. On October 4, saplings were distributed and planted at Dewada and on October 8, saplings were distributed at Moharli.
Awareness programmes on plantation were held at Mudholi, Katwal, Sitarampeth, Adegaon, Moharli, Chorgaon, Junona, Bhamdeli, Kutwanda, and Kondegaon.
On October 6, we organized a team
of 35 people to participate in a programme to build a check dam at Aswal Hira,
a spot in the jungle near Moharli. The team comprised guides working in the
National Park, two staff of the Forest Department and our field assistant Bandu
Kumare. The Forest Department arranged for transport to the site, which is
around 7 kms from Moharli village, and also helped provide some of the
materials for the dam. The resultant
water body will benefit wildlife. Sambar and spotted deer are spotted regularly
in the area with intermittent sightings of leopard. Photos below.
Wildlife week was also celebrated
across the villages in our area of operations. A separate report is available
on Wildlife Week celebrations.
