There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Yes there is, T42 for one is the most defining proof there is.
Turned man eater and jeep chaser immediately following his capturing and collaring.
Gabbar is already quoted by photographers who watched him grow from a cub to adult have also stated his attitude change since the collar was placed.
I don't think we really need to get into this debate again, since there is tons upon tons of evidence of all the benefits you stated about collaring all being provided by Camera traps, GPS tracking, infra red, sonar etc.
All used without any stress put on a single tiger or any other species for that matter.
Corridors found via camera trap.
Amur family traveling together found via Camera trap.
New animal species and density found via camera trap.
Individual Tiger treks of unheard of distances found via camera trap. (Jai)
Big Cat density
Prey density

etc.
All found via camera monitoring or any of the other methods stated.
