6.1 Are threatened/ endangered species populations stable or increasing?<br />

Assessment criteria<br />

Threatened/ endangered species<br />

populations declining.<br />

Some threatened/ endangered species<br />

populations increasing, most others stable.<br />

Most threatened/ endangered species<br />

populations increasing, most others stable.<br />

All threatened/ endangered species<br />

populations either increasing or stable.<br />

ü<br />

The estimation figures maintained by the<br />

management show a declining trend for tiger<br />

population and that is evident from the<br />

decline shown in the important ungulate<br />

population (Cheetal, Sambar & Nilgai).<br />

Panther population shows an increase and<br />

that is evident from the signs found by me on<br />

the ground. This is another indication of<br />

decrease in tiger population. During my field<br />

visit of two days I could see pug marks of<br />

one large female in Bankatwa range close to<br />

Pipraha FRH near Hathiyakund Nala and<br />

pugmarks of a male tiger in Mendhkiya beat<br />

of same Range behind Banghogwa bund.<br />

The habitat is good and has potential for<br />

good tiger population provided the biotic<br />

pressures are reduced.<br />
