New project starts around Kanha Tiger Reserve

2/5/2023

 
Picture
Sarika is in Kanha Tiger Reserve with colleagues (not the ones photographed above) on a National Geographic Society-funded project, Soundscapes and Stories. Here, she takes a nap under a tree where the cattle must also like to rest. She's working in communities in the buffer of Kanha Tiger Reserve and due to the nature of the work, which involves building trust with people, a lot of things are confidential and cannot be shared. She's documenting her research on Instagram if you want to follow along.

Sarika was invited to speak at the African Wildlife Symposium, an event held in New York City. She spoke about India's recent 'Project Cheetah,' which is bringing cheetahs from Africa to India in Kuno National Park (Kuno). Sarika worked for two months in Kuno in the summer of 2017, and has published a peer-review article estimating leopard densities in the area. She spoke about Kuno and what 'Project Cheetah' means for tigers across the larger central Indian landscape and communities living around Kuno.  

Building collaborations

8/29/2022

 
Collaborations, across sectors and borders, are critical for conservation and the Wild Tiger team has been busy building partnerships behind the scenes in the last couple of months. Tomorrow, Sarika heads to Washington DC for the International Society for Forensic Genetics 2022 congress. Here, we are building collaborations with experts from around the world on forensic genetics of tigers and continuing our work on the illegal trade in tiger parts.

At the end of September, Sarika will be attending the Big Cat Sanctuary Alliance conference in St. Louis, MS. We are hoping to find common interest with the member organizations, U.S.-based sanctuaries, who have been so critical in bringing awareness to the tiger crisis and shaping captive big cat policy in the U.S.
