Tiger Attack in Kalagarh Uttarakhand : Role of Local Authorities
- Spread awareness through targeted programs that focus on informing local communities about tiger behaviour, types of safety measures to follow, and how to maintain a safe distance from wildlife habitats. Seminars and workshops are the best way to achieve this. Government officials can share informational pieces with residents that they can follow in case of such tiger attacks. Moreover, the local residents should learn when to avoid going to areas near the tiger reserve.
- Set up better monitoring systems in place near the areas where there is quite a significant population of local residents. These systems should enable the local residents to report any tiger sighting in the area to the forest officials on time so that they can respond quickly and without any delays. However, authorities must install high-quality cameras for these monitoring systems.
- Physical barriers such as natural fencing can also be created around the areas surrounding these villages. So, this will act as a resistance point for the tiger to enter the residential area. High-quality strong materials-based barrier systems will be difficult for the tiger to break into.
Additional Measures after this Tiger Attack in Kalagarh Uttarakhand
- Tiger attacks pose a great risk to the livestock that people own in the areas surrounding Jim Corbett. Government and local residents must collaborate to set up measures in place that will enable the better protection of the livestock too alongside humans. These can include constructing better livestock shelters with proper enclosures. This will prevent tigers from attacking the livestock directly.
- After this incident of tiger attack in kalagarh Uttarakhand, forest officials must relocate the tigers that are creating havoc for the local public. Officials should shift them from Jim Corbett National Park to other relevant forest areas. This will maintain order and harmony in these regions surrounding wildlife sanctuaries and national parks.
