Encounters Asia: Tiger Trust and Star Beds

Posted by Conservation Travel Curators on September 29, 2015 at 3:06pm in Impact, Travel Philanthropy, and Partnerships

Today, there are 5 main National Parks where Bengal tigers roam freely, and Madhya Pradesh (Central India) is the core habitat. In prior years, some of the National Parks were connected by corridors through which the tigers had a larger area to move around in and create territories of their own. Today these Parks have been encroached upon by roads, highways, large villages and farmland. Unfortunately, in order to create the National Parks and preserve the wildlife, government had to relocate small villages that were spread out within the jungles; however, it is this relocation which has formed larger villages that block the corridors. Still being remote, these villages largely depend on farming and livestock for their daily necessities. This is where man animal conflict begins can pose danger to both groups. The rules are only known by the humans, wildlife still venture out in hopes of finding new territory, injured predators will feast on livestock and ruin farmland.
