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.

Those are just paranoid words and nonsenses.
Those who want to know the TRUTH about radiocollared tigers, please read these SCIENTIFIC documents from REAL studies on radiocollared tigers.
Here is the list:
[*]Sukumar. 1990. The Nagarhole tiger controversy.
[*]Majumder & Yadav. 2014. A Suggested Protocol for Radio-Telemetry Studies on Tiger (Panthera tigris L.).
[*]Barlow. 2008. Collaring Tigers for Conservation.
[*]Kreeger. (no date). Chemical Capture of Free-Ranging Felids.
[*]Smith et al. 1983. A technique for capturing and immobilizing tigers.
[*]Miller et al. 2010. Review of research methodologies for tigers: Telemetry.
[*]Chundawat & Malik. 2010. Beeping tigers: A reliable way of understanding tiger Biology, Ecology and behaviour.
[/list]
To ALL posters, please READ the attached documents. Then you will know the TRUTH. What is happening in Kanha and Tadoba, with tigers been radiocollared for tourists, is NOT the norm, but a bad use of an excellent (if not the best) scientific tool to understand the wild tigers. I will say it again, you can blame the user of a tool, but not the tool itself, that is an irresponsible way to get an opinion about something.
I am not going to waste more words with people that exaggerate and/or lie to present a point. Here is the evidence, there you go...
Good day to all. [img]images/smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
