Landscape of central India. Even though most of us are city-dwellers. This blog is about how we urbanites can help to stem the tide and save our national animal from extinction.

</span><p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">During<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>October, we organised garbage management meetings and activities with villagers of Khutwanda. After the garbage collection, Conservation Officer Ajay Poddar gave a talk on cleanliness and precautions to be taken during the ongoing COVID19 pandemic. Programs were also organised to sanitise the area around villages, as garbage spillover and food leftovers lure wildlife into villages and cause human-wildlife conflict. We also collected over 12 kilograms of plastic litter through public participation (shramdaan).<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>72 children volunteered for the drives.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p>

</span></span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">During<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>October, we organised students’ sensitisation through wildlife conservation awareness and environment education programs in Khutwanda, Mudholi and Bhamdeli villages. We engaged children in interactive nature game through which they learned about identification of wildlife and importance of their conservation. A nature and birdwatching trail was also organised.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>67 local children participated in the activities.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p>

</span><p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Due to current lockdown situation, many forest dwelling communities are going through hardship. Members of women’s SHGs requested us to conduct livelihood awareness sessions. We organised programs on oyster mushroom cultivation and also discussed various potential small enterprises.

</span><p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">In VEDC meetings we talked about how to prevent electrocution of wild animals. The meetings involved primary response teams (PRTs) and Forest Department staff. We also discussed the grazing issue and spoke about increased livestock killings by large carnivores. Some villagers have set up cattle sheds and are not allowing their cattle to graze in forest land in buffer. Types of grasses and fodder plantation were also discussed during the meetings. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">We also discussed the rising number of free-ranging stray dogs in villages that often pose threat to small to medium-sized wild animals and also carry diseases with them. These dogs will be marked to be neutered by related departments/organisations.</span></span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><br /><p></p>Rajashree Khalaphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07126525130753970833noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2701461831524564961.post-88273737848368128172020-10-07T07:06:00.000-07:002020-10-07T07:06:40.488-07:00Activity Update September 2020: Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve<p><span style="font-family: times;

<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-size: medium;">During<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>July, we organised garbage management programmes at Mudholi and Khutwanda. After the programmes, Conservation Officer Ajay Poddar gave a talk on cleanliness and precautions to be taken for COVID19. The programmes were organised in order to sanitise the area around villages, as garbage spillover and food leftovers lure wildlife into villages and cause human-wildlife conflict. We also collected over 5 kilograms of plastic litter through public participation (<i>shramdhaan</i>).<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>55 villagers volunteered for the drives.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-size: medium;">We organised joint foot patrols at Khutwanda and Mudholi forest beats with Forest Department staff and volunteers from the villages. Keeping in focus the recent tiger mortality case, we patrolled areas adjoining farmlands. Patrolling teams also noted water levels of water bodies, hoof and pug marks, presence of birds etc. The young villagers were also taught about floral indicators of bio-diverse forests.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></span></span></p><p class="p1"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Environmental Education (See Table 2)</b></span></p><p class="p1">

</p><p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-size: medium;">During the month of July, we organised students’ sensitisation drive through wildlife conservation awareness and environment education programmes in Kondegaon, Ashtha, Katwal and Bhamdeli villages. We engaged children in interactive nature games through which they learned about identification of wildlife and importance of their conservation. After the wildlife conservation session, we spoke to children about the COVID19 pandemic and its impact.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>122 children participated in the activities.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></span></span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><b>Employment Cell (See Table 3)</b></span></span></span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">

</p><p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-size: medium;">In Village Eco-Development Committee (VEDC) meetings, we talked about preventing electrocution of wild animals. We involved primary response teams (PRTs), the Forest Department and the Electricity Board. We also discussed issues associated with domestic cattle grazing inside forests and resultant attacks on cattle by wildlife. Some villagers have set up cattle sheds and do not allow their cattle to graze in forest areas. We discussed the benefits of fodder plantation and different types of grass during the meeting.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Global Tiger Day 2020</span></b></span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-size: medium;">

<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">On 6 May, a foot patrol was conducted in Hattigota and Datizira areas of west range of Pench Tiger Reserve. This is the same area where a human was killed by wildlife in April this year. During the patrol, water bodies such as streams, rivulets, ponds and artificial waterholes were inspected. The team searched for indirect signs of wildlife along the forest roads, claw marks on tree trunks, etc. They also checked for signs of human intrusion inside the forest so as to prevent any illegal activity and human-wildlife conflict. Our colleague Bandu Uikey assisted Forest Guard V.R. Mehar and two seasonal laborers in the patrol. The team started the patrol at 9.30 a.m. and traversed 5 km till 12.45 p.m. Following the patrol, Bandu met Range Forest Officer (RFO) Ms Telang at Kolitmara to share observations about the patrol and to discuss the next patrolling plan.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">On 10 May, at around 15:30, a calf was attacked and injured by a tiger near Markadhari Nalla in a forest patch adjoining Ghatpendari village. This region is a part of West Range of Pench Tiger Reserve. The cattle owner, Mr Dukdu Uikey, informed our colleague Bandu that his wife had taken their cattle for drinking water when a tiger attacked the cattle. The incident took place in a farm on the fringe of the forest. Due to the frenzy, she could not clearly identify whether it was a male or female tiger that attacked. She ensured her safety first. A calf was injured but managed to save itself from the tiger’s clutches. The tiger made a run towards the forest after the failed attempt. Forest Guard Mr S.D. Bele immediately reached the spot and registered the case. First aid was provided to the calf as advised by the veterinary doctor. RFO Ms Telang has also spoken and assured Mr Dukdu Uikey of speedy and appropriate compensation for the treatment. Bandu Uikey and RFO have urged the villagers to inform the Forest Department about such incidents and not to resort to any retaliation. Tiger movement in this region has increased in the past few months and a human kill was recorded on 13 April when a person from the village was mauled to death by a tiger when he went into the forest to collect <i>mahua</i> flowers. Villagers have been repeatedly alerted and warned by Forest Department staff and our staff not to enter forest areas in order to avoid any conflict with wildlife, especially during the COVID-19 lockdown.</span></span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">On 14 May, under the guidance of Satpuda Foundation staff, 3 members of Village Eco-Development Committee (VEDC) and Primary Response Team (PRT) from Khapa assisted Forest Department staff in a forest patrol. During the COVID-19 pandemic, forest protection, firefighting, prevention of human-wildlife conflict has become a priority for the Forest Department. As the COVID 19 pandemic has reduced the availability of temporary/seasonal employees, this has become a challenge. Fortunately, the members of VEDCs and PRTs have taken up the challenge to protect their forests and wildlife. These teams are helping forest guards keep a check on poaching. During the patrols, they ensure that water holes are not poisoned or left unclean. They also check for snares or electric wires that are used in poaching. These teams assist in tackling any friction with villagers that might arise in cases of human-wildlife conflict. These villagers are now assisting Forest Department staff in the compensation process for cattle kills. During the summer season, these teams are also ready to assist in fighting forest fires. There have been no cases of major forest fires in Pench so far this year.</span></span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">On the night of 14 May, a leopard attacked and killed two goats belonging to Mr Jhamlya Uikey of Zinzeriya village of Paoni Unified Control buffer area. The leopard, suspected to be an adult male, attacked the goats inside a shed and dragged out the male goat while leaving the dead female goat behind. When our team was informed on the morning of 15 May, our field assistant Dilip Lanjewar reached the spot along with Forest Guard Ms Bhelave who recorded the case. Dilip explained the compensation process to Mr Uikey and asked him not to try to harm the leopard. Dilip, along with Forest Department staff, patrolled the area and found pugmarks of a leopard. The team also found pugmarks and scat of a tiger in the region. They also observed that women from the village were using this same area for collection of <i>charoli </i>fruits. Dilip and Forest Guard Bhelave alerted the women to avoid this area in order to avoid any conflict with either leopard or tiger. Earlier this year, a woman from Zinzeriya was injured in a leopard attack. Members of Primary Response Team (PRT) have been asked to create awareness amongst the villagers. Regular monitoring has been planned in this area and RFO Mr Modwan along with his staff is keeping a close eye on the situation.</span></span></p>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">During January, we organised several meetings with villagers focusing on reducing human-wildlife conflict.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>In order to spread awareness, we spoke to the community members about potential threats and danger of venturing into the forest areas for fuel wood,<i> mahua, tendu collection</i> etc. As the Tadoba area has a good tiger breeding population and other large carnivores, many encounters turn fatal, often leading to retaliatory killing of wildlife by villagers. Resolving issues like garbage dumps around village, cattle grazing, minor forest produce (MFP) collection and unemployment, help in reducing man-animal confrontation. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Electrocution is an emerging practice of poaching and killing of wild animals. To prevent electrocution of wildlife, we discussed preventive measures with community and Village Eco-Development Committee members. During the meeting, it was discussed that an interdepartmental approach would be required to prevent electrocution around protected areas. A patrolling unit, consisting of Forest Department’s beat guard, VEDC members, Satpuda Foundation officer, Vidhyut Sevak of Electricity Department and electric pump connection holder will be formed.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">We organised garbage management meetings and activities with villagers of Kondegaon and Adegaon. Programs were organised to sanitise the area around the villages, as garbage spillover and food leftovers lure wildlife into villages and cause human-wildlife conflict. We also collected over 10 kilograms of plastic litter through public participation (shramdhaan).<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>67 villagers volunteered for the drives.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">During December, we organised several meetings with villagers focusing on reducing human-wildlife conflict. We introduced them to recently released human-wildlife conflict resolution guidelines issued by the Maharashtra Forest Department.</span><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">In order to spread awareness, we spoke to the community members about potential threats and the danger of venturing into forest areas for </span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">fuel wood,</span><i style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"> mahua, tendu </i><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">collection</span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"> etc. As the Tadoba area has a good tiger breeding population and other large carnivores, many encounters turn fatal, often leading to retaliatory killing of wildlife by villagers. Resolving issues like garbage dumps around villages, cattle grazing, minor forest produce (MFP) collection and unemployment, help in reducing human-wildlife confrontation. </span><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"> </span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">We also focused on wildlife movement outside protected areas (PAs). Wild animals like blue bulls, spotted deer, <i>sambar</i> deer and wild boar also pose a threat to villagers by raiding crops, damaging property and sometimes attacking farmers. Farmers suffer losses in these depredations. Farmers were told to maximise the usage of solar-powered fencing around their farms to deter animals. Our team is preparing a list of farmers who are willing to set up solar-powered fencing around their farms.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>155 villagers attended these meetings.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">As part of IUCN’s Tiger Corridor project, Satpuda Foundation undertook de-silting of a recharge lake in Telgaon village in Pench-Bor corridor. The recharge lake is spread over an area of 0.6 acre and invasive species like <i>lantana camara</i> had encroached upon the land surrounding the lake. The silt from the recharge lake was removed and the lake deepened. The invasive species have been uprooted and the land has been cleared for plantation work. The inauguration of the work was done by Mr Taywade, member of the Gram Sabha (village council). Other members and prominent villagers were present during the inaugural ceremony of the work. Sarpanch Mrs Chanda Gaydhane expressed her gratitude towards IUCN, and Maharashtra State Forest Department for funding, and Satpuda Foundation for undertaking this work as it will help solve water shortage issues for her village.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">As part of the IUCN project, Satpuda Foundation organised a 2-day residential nature camp at Pench Tiger Reserve, Sillari on 27 and 28 December 2019. 30 students from Narendra High School (HS), Telgaon, and Sarvoday HS, Umari, along with 6 teachers participated in the camp. On day 1, the students learnt about the basics of tiger ecology at Tiger Tale Interpretation Centre. Later they learnt about the concepts of ecosystem, habitat, and the importance of insects, birds and animals in nature. The students also learned to spot and identify birds during the trail. Signs of the presence and movement of leopard, sloth bear and spotted deer were seen during nature trails organised by our team.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">On the concluding day of the nature camp, the students went on a safari ride in the jungle and observed <i>gaur, sambar deer, spotted deer, peafowl, Red-crested Pochards, Ruddy Shelducks, </i>and<i> Eurasian Wigeons</i>. A visit to a medicinal plantation in Sillari was organised. Later in the afternoon, through nature games, students learnt the importance of conservation. During discussion sessions, students came to the conclusion that forests and biodiversity are absent near their villages and that they will make collective efforts to improve the situation and support the Forest Department in conservation initiatives. Teachers also expressed their willingness to support nature education programmes in their schools.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">On 14 December, Balkrishna Bagmare led 5 villagers of Suwardhara on a forest foot patrol. Forest guard Mr Sunil Waghmare along with forest labourer Mr Duryodhan Dhurve joined the team. During the patrol, the team searched for signs of the presence and movement of wild animals like tiger, leopard, sloth bear and herbivores, in the forest area adjoining the village. Human-wildlife conflict can be prevented by alerting the villagers beforehand when there are signs of the presence of wild animals. The patrolling team also looked out for signs of illegal activities like encroachments on forest lands, tree felling and grazing. However no signs of any illegal activities were recorded.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">On 26 December, a Primary Response Team (PRT) workshop was organised at Amaltas Complex in Sillari. Satpuda Foundation organised the workshop jointly with the Maharashtra Forest Department. 32 young villagers from Sawara, Usripar, Ghoti, Kadbikheda and Khapa villages of Pauni Unified Control Range (UFC) (buffer area) of Pench Tiger Reserve participated in the workshop. The workshop aimed to teach the villagers ways to prevent and reduce human-wildlife conflict. The trainers and trainees discussed the concept of ‘co-existence’ with wildlife. Issues such as crop damage, cattle kill or attacks on humans by wild animals and ways to prevent such incidents were discussed. Information on the Government’s compensation scheme for such losses was given to the attendees. The members of the primary response teams have volunteered to assist Forest Department staff in preventing and reducing human-wildlife conflict. The teams will participate in regular forest patrols around their villages and create awareness about these issues amongst their fellow villagers. During the workshop, Mr Pratik Modwan, Range Forest Officer – Pauni UFC range along with Satpuda Foundation’s Conservation Officers Mandar Pingle and Bandu Uikey and field assistant Dilip Lanjewar guided the young villagers through audio-visual presentations and interactive discussions.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">On 5 December, Dilip Lanjewar organised a voluntary work program to repair a check dam on a stream in Shivkund near Wagholi village. 15 volunteers from Wagholi village took part in the voluntary work program and assisted in removing waste accumulated near the check dam and rearranged the sand bags used earlier for construction of the dam. Some of the sand bags were dislodged during the monsoon rains, damaging the dam. By repairing and cleaning the area around the check dam, the flow of water in the stream was arrested once more. This check dam will prove beneficial for both farmers and wild animals.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">On 24 December, Balkrishna Bagmare along with 12 volunteers from Shiladevi constructed a check dam on a stream located in the fields, 500 meters away from the village. Sand-filled gunny bags, boulders and rocks were used to construct the dam. Thanks to this check dam, water will be available for farmers up to February. Earlier, the water availability was up to mid-January.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">On 13 December, a cattle vaccination program was organised by Animal Husbandry Department and Maharashtra Forest Department. Bandu Uikey assisted in the program by encouraging villagers to get their cattle vaccinated. By vaccinating the cattle, spread of diseases from domestic animals to wildlife can be prevented as domestic animals often stray into the forest in search of fodder. Bandu encouraged 70 villagers to vaccinate 150 cows from the village.</span></span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">On 11 November, Niranjan organised a nature trail for 12 students of Kohoka village. During the nature trail, Niranjan taught the students how to identify various birds and trees in the forest area in the vicinity of the village. Nature games were arranged during the trail to effectively teach concepts of ecosystem, habitat and biodiversity. Niranjan also taught students to identify pug marks, hoofmarks etc. of various wild animals during the trail. By learning to identify such signs, the students will be able to identify areas being used by wildlife and avoid them, thus reducing human-animal conflict. Nature trails also help to sensitise the students about the rich local biodiversity and encourage them to protect it.</span><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"> </span></div>

Niranjan, with the help of 3 volunteers, repaired the unit. Alternative sources of fuel help to reduce the need for fuel wood collection, and so reduce the problem of humans venturing into forest areas. This will also help to avoid human-animal conflict.</span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Satpuda Foundation assisted Forest Department staff from Katol Range of Nagpur district in regularly monitoring tiger movement near Chandikapur, Malegaon and Gondikhapa villages. On 28 October, a cow was killed by a tiger in Randhoda area of Isapur round, and villagers had encountered the tiger in their farms. In order to prevent any human-animal conflict, Satpuda Foundation and Forest Department staff regularly patrolled the area till 13 November. Pug marks were seen in a cotton farm in Malegaon village. The team also collected GPS locations of open wells in the region. Villagers were sensitised through meetings and one-on-one interactions. The villagers were instructed to avoid open defecation, grazing of cattle in forest areas, and to avoid disposal of dead cattle in the open in order to avoid human-animal conflict.</span></span></div>

Mrs Savita Dhongade, trainer for the workshop, is associated with Mahila Arthik Vikas Mahamandal (MAVIM), Nagpur. During the program, the women were taught to make pickles, sauces, chutneys, jams and squashes. Packaging, marketing and setting up of cottage or micro-enterprises was also taught during the program. Officials from Gram Panchayats and Maharashtra Rural Livelihood Mission (MSRLM) visited the workshop and provided information regarding various schemes for SHGs being implemented by the Panchayat Samiti. During the program, the women were also sensitised about human-animal conflict and ways to prevent it.</span></span></div>

During the patrol, the team assisted the Forest Department staff in checking for any illegal activity like logging, and placing of snares for poaching. They also looked out for any indirect signs like pug marks, scat or scratch marks made by tigers, leopards or sloth bears. The team also checked for signs of illegal grazing inside the forest. No illegal activity was detected during the patrol. The team encountered signs indicating the presence of ungulates like wild boar, sambar deer and axis deer.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Similar patrols were carried out along with Forest Department staff in Shiladevi, Khapa and Dhawlapur on November 10</span><span class="s2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"><sup>th</sup></span><span class="s1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: small;">, 14th and 17</span><span class="s2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"><sup>th</sup></span><span class="s1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: small;"> respectively.</span></div>

While on the trail, Dilip provided information on various plant and tree species. The students identified trees such as teak<i>, palash, mahua, neem, banyan, fig </i>and<i> salai</i>. Dilip explained that the trees not only provide people with many medicines and fruit but also support numerous animal, bird and insect species. Dilip helped students identify hoof marks of herbivores like wild boars and sambar deer. During the trail, the students also observed many birds like <i>Rufous Treepie, oriole, Coppersmith Barbet, Yellow-footed Green Pigeon </i>and<i> Indian Grey Hornbill</i>.

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">During<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>November, we organised several meetings with villagers focusing on reduction in human-animal conflict. We introduced the villagers to the recently released human-animal conflict Resolution issued by Maharashtra Forest Department.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>To spread awareness, we spoke to the community members about potential threats and the danger of venturing into the forest areas for<i> </i>fuel wood,<i> mahua, tendu </i>collection etc. As the Tadoba area has a good tiger breeding population and other large carnivores, encounters sometimes turn fatal for villagers, often leading to retaliatory killing of wildlife. Resolving issues like garbage dumps around villages, cattle grazing, minor forest produce (MFP) collection and unemployment, help in reducing human-animal confrontation. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span><br />
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">We also focused on wildlife movement outside protected areas (PAs). Wild herbivores like blue bulls, spotted deer, <i>sambar</i> deer and wild boar also pose a threat to villagers by raiding farms, damaging the crops and sometimes attacking farmers. Farmers suffer losses in these depredations. Farmers were told to maximise the usage of solar-powered fencing to try and deter wild animals from their farms. Our team is preparing a list of farmers who are willing to set up solar-powered fencing around their farms.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>394 villagers attended these meetings.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">We organised garbage management meetings and activities with villagers of Khutwanda and Kondegaon. Programs were organised in order to sanitise the area around the villages, as garbage spillover and food leftovers lure wildlife into villages and cause human-animal conflict. We collected over 5 kilograms of plastic litter through public participation.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>65 villagers including members of the VEDC (Village Eco-Development Committee), and children participated in these activities.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">We organised 8 Village Eco-Development Committee (VEDC) meetings and 3 Self-Help Group (SHG) meetings focusing on alternative livelihoods which would reduce dependence on forests. Forest dependence leads to human-animal conflict and degradation of wild habitat.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>209 villagers attended these meetings. In the SHG meetings, we discussed several livelihood related issues. We formed groups of members who are willing to be trained in making paper bags and in embroidery.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span><br />

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">As there is increasing tourism in buffer zone of Tadoba, some villagers requested us to organise a workshop to train women as nature guides.

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">In the VEDC meetings, we discussed human-animal conflict and wildlife conservation guidelines outside protected areas (PAs). We also focused on increasing usage of solar-powered fencing in farm lands to prevent conflict with wildlife, and to reduce the incidence of wild animals being killed by electrified fencing. We also discussed and explained short- and long-term benefits of fodder plantation. We discussed the rise in human-animal confrontation in and around Moharli and how to prevent this by adopting cattle sheds and stall feeding for cattle, to prevent straying of the animals into forests and falling prey to carnivores around the area.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>144 villagers attended these meetings.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span><br />

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Following a request from villagers, we organised a workshop on mushroom cultivation for residents of Katwal. We had earlier trained villagers in Pench to cultivate and market mushrooms, and their success has drawn villagers from Tadoba to emulate them. Mr. Abhimanyu of Sky Mushrooms, Nagpur visited Katwal and spoke to the candidates about mushroom cultivation and marketing etc. 20 interested candidates attended the workshop. Some of them also prepared a first batch of mushroom spawn for cultivation. They are cultivating oyster mushrooms as the local climate is suitable for it.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">During October, we organised several meetings with villagers focusing on reducing human-animal conflict. In order to spread awareness, we spoke to the community members about potential threats and the danger of venturing into forest areas for collection of fuel wood,<i> mahua, tendu, </i>etc. As the Tadoba landscape has a good tiger breeding population and other large carnivores, many encounters turn fatal, often leading to retaliatory killing of wildlife by villagers. Resolving issues like garbage dumps around villages, cattle grazing, minor forest produce (MFP) collection and unemployment helps in reducing man-animal confrontation. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Wild herbivores like blue bulls, spotted deer, <i>sambar</i> deer and wild boar also pose threat to villagers by raiding crops, damaging property and sometimes attacking farmers. Farmers suffer hefty losses in these depredations. Farmers were told to maximise the usage of solar-powered fencing. Our team is preparing a list of farmers who are willing to set up solar-powered fencing around their farms.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>380 villagers attended these meetings.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">We organised garbage management programs with villagers of Khutwanda and Katwal. Programs were organised to sanitise the area around villages, as garbage spillover and food leftovers lure wildlife into villages and cause human-animal conflict. We also collected over 5 kilograms of plastic litter through public participation (voluntary work projects).<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>92 villagers including members of Village Eco-Development Committees (VEDCs) and children volunteered for these activities.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Post monsoon, we also organised a foot patrol involving selected local young villagers in the Tadoba buffer zone, in an area where there have been incidents of hunting, mainly of birds. We patrolled an area of 4 kilometers with the local forest guard.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>7 people joined the patrol.</span></span></div>

We discussed and explained short- and long-term benefits of fodder plantation. We also discussed human-animal confrontation in and around Moharli, and how to prevent this by adopting cattle sheds and stall-feeding for cattle, which sometimes fall prey to carnivores in the area.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>67 villagers attended these meetings.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span class="s1">On 17 September, we organised a meeting of members of Gayatri Mahila Bachat Gat of Telgaon. The group had won a prize of </span><span class="s2">₹</span><span class="s1">50,000 under the ‘Hirkani’ competition organised by the Maharashtra State Self Employment and Entrepreneurship Development Department. The award was to encourage the development of micro and small enterprises. The group has been engaged in making paper bags for the past year. During the meeting, the group made resolutions regarding utilisation of these funds. The group has decided to lend money to both members and non-member villagers for the purpose of self-employment or setting up of micro-enterprises. Mandar helped the group to understand the process of lending, deciding the rate of interest and calculating the instalments payable by the borrower. A follow-up meeting with the Self-Help Group was organised on 30 September in Telgaon.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">During village visits in September, Mandar gave information on schemes of compensation for crop damage done by wild animals. Referring to the Government Resolution on compensation, Mandar explained the process of application for compensation, documents to be provided during the application and where to submit the application. Mandar shared the contact details of the concerned Forest Department staff with the farmers. Mandar also urged the farmers to strictly avoid use of electrocution or poisoning as a means to counter crop damage by wildlife, and explained to them that these methods were illegal. He also provided information on alternate solutions like solar-powered farm fencing to prevent crop damage by wild animals.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">On 15 September, Dilip encouraged 5 villagers from Khapa to join Forest Department staff on a foot patrol in the forest area adjoining their village. During the patrol, the team looked out for signs of illegal activities like logging, and placing of snares for poaching. They also looked out for signs like pugmarks, scat or scratch marks made by tigers, leopards or sloth bears. The team also checked for signs of illegal grazing inside the forest area. No illegal activity was detected during the patrol. The team encountered signs of the presence of numerous ungulates like wild boar and deer. Similar patrols were carried out in Dhawlapur and Ambazari on 8 and 10 September. Balkrishna encouraged 3 villagers each from Dhawlapur and Ambazari to join the foot patrols.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">On 28 September, Balkrishna organised a team of 50 villagers from Chargaon to assist Gram Panchayat staff in an anti-plastic and public cleanliness program. The Gram Panchayat had organised the drive to remove plastic trash from roadside drains, hand pumps, school and Gram Panchayat premises. Balkrishna organised an awareness rally with school students to encourage villagers to participate in the voluntary work<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>program. Encouraged by the slogans chanted by the children, the villagers collected 70-80 kg of plastic trash in 15 sacks. The trash was sent to Parseoni town for disposal. This sort of drive helps prevent clogging of drains, thus preventing the spread of many waterborne diseases.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">On 10 September, Dilip organised a workshop on organic farming techniques for farmers of Khapa village. Taluka Krishi Sahayak, Mr. Pandhre was the resource person for the workshop. 20 farmers attended the workshop/ Mr. Pandhre taught them techniques to prepare organic compost and chemical-free pesticides and fertilisers. Dilip explained that chemical pesticides and fertilisers are harmful for soil fertility in the long run and destroy useful organisms like earthworms, spiders and micro-organisms which aid in improving farm produce. He also explained that chemical pesticides and fertilisers are very expensive, thereby reducing the profit margins for the farmers. On the contrary, the organic alternatives are cheap and can be prepared by the farmers themselves. Dilip also explained that the chemical fertilisers and pesticides are harmful for human and cattle health and that excessive use also pollutes nearby sources of water.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>

On the night of 21 September, a herd of wild boar damaged the standing crop of corn, causing a loss of Rs 80,000. Bandu assisted the farmer in applying and submitting the requisite documents as per the directives of the government compensation scheme. Quick resolution of such claims helps deter the aggrieved farmers from resorting to retaliatory action against wildlife, thus reducing human-wildlife conflict.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>

While on the nature trail, Dilip provided information on various plant and tree species. The students identified trees such as teak, <i>palash, mahua, neem, </i>banyan, fig and <i>salai. </i>Dilip explained that the trees not only provide people with many medicines and fruits but also support numerous animal, bird and insect species. Dilip assisted students in identifying hoof marks of herbivores like wild boar and sambar deer. During the trail, the students also observed many birds like rufous treepie, oriole, coppersmith barbet, yellow-footed green pigeon and Indian grey hornbill. Dilip helped the students observe the difference in the shapes of beaks, feet and wings of different birds. He further explained to the students that the birds have evolved based on their feeding habits and habitat.</span></span></div>

In order to spread awareness, we spoke to the community members about potential threats and the danger of venturing into the forest areas for fuel wood,<i> mahua, tendu </i>collection etc. As the Tadoba area has a good tiger breeding population and other large carnivores, many encounters turn fatal, often leading to retaliatory killing of wildlife by villagers. Resolving issues like garbage dumps around village, cattle grazing, minor forest produce (MFP) collection and unemployment help in reducing human-animal confrontation. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Wild herbivores like blue bulls, spotted deer, <i>sambar</i> deer and wild boar also pose a threat to villagers by raiding crops, damaging fields and sometimes attacking farmers. Farmers suffer hefty losses in these depredations. Farmers were told to maximise the use of solar-powered fencing. Our team is preparing a list of farmers who are willing to set up solar-powered fencing around their farms. 452 villagers attended these meetings.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">We organised garbage management meetings with villagers of Katwal and Kondegaon. Programs were organised to sanitise the area around villages, as garbage spillover and food leftovers lure wildlife into villages and cause man-animal conflict. We also collected over 5 kilograms of plastic litter through public participation (<i>shramdhaan)</i>. 87 villagers including members of village eco-development committees (VEDCs) and children volunteered for these activities.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">We also organised 6 meetings with cattle owners and farmers on livestock management. Attendees were informed about stall feeding, cattle sheds and fodder unit through success stories from the villages in Nagpur and Wardha districts. Post monsoon, a fodder plantation drive will take place with the help of Forest Department near Mudholi village. Also, a cattle castration program will be organised in Khutwanda, Kondegaon and Katwal in October. 113 cattle owners and farmers including village Sarpanch attended the meetings.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">During September, we organised environment education programs in Junona, Dewada, Udiyatola, Adegaon, Kanargaon, Gunpur, Kudesawli, Wamanpalli, Pachgaon, Khutwanda and Ashtha villages. We<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>organised these programs to make students and teachers aware of the importance of biodiversity and conservation. We taught them about nature and wildlife’s value through interactive sessions and various nature games. 605 students and 35 teachers participated in the programs.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">In the SHG meetings, we discussed several livelihood related issues. We formed groups of interested members who are willing to be trained in making paper bags and in embroidery. Taking up such activities will improve their earnings and reduce their dependency on forests. 45 people attended these meetings. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">In the VEDC meetings, we discussed plantation to be done in the buffer area, collection and distribution of saplings from the Forest Department. We also focused on increasing usage of solar-powered fencing in farm lands to prevent conflict with wildlife and to reduce the incidence of wild animals being electrocuted by electrified fencing. We discussed and explained short- and long-term benefits of fodder plantation. We also discussed the increasing incidents of human-animal confrontation in and around Moharli and how to prevent this by adopting cattle sheds and stall feeding for cattle, which often fall prey to carnivores around the area. 67 villagers attended these meetings.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">During September we also organised two meetings with young villagers of Moharli and nearby villages regarding a video/photography workshop to be organised by TATA Trusts in Agarzari. 15 young villagers were selected for the first batch. These young villagers will be trained in handling camera equipment and making documentaries. These documentaries will be featured in our environmental education program and the Tiger Reserve’s nature camping site.</span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>
