Pakke Forever . As news trickles in of a proposed road through the very heart of Arunachal Pradesh' astoundingly diverse Pakke Tiger Reserve, we turn the spotlight back onto the wild wonders of this Protected Area. The East-West Industrial Corridor road has been proposed to connect the state's foothill districts without passing through Assam. If the project proceeds, around 49 km. of roads will be built at a cost of 2,452 crore rupees through the reserve! This colossal cost and damage will save merely 26 km. of distance, as a road already exists that connects Seijosa to Bhalukpong via Assam. . Camera trap photographs in the existing area where the road is proposed shows the presence of several endangered and vulnerable mammal species. Tiger, hog deer, Asian elephant, and the Chinese pangolin which are listed as Endangered (IUCN Red List) have been photographed from around these areas. There are also Vulnerable species such as: clouded leopard, marbled cat, Himalayan black bear, gaur, sambar, capped langur, slow loris, binturong, Oriental small-clawed otter and smooth-coated otter. There are over 300 bird species recorded from Pakke TR including the globally endangered white-winged wood duck, the ibisbill and the Oriental bay owl, which are found within the limits of the road expansion area. Pakke TR is important for four species of hornbills including three species (Great Hornbill, Wreathed hornbill and Rufous-necked hornbill) that are listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN. A high diversity of invertebrate, amphibian and reptile species occur in Pakke TR. Most of the species found in Pakke TR are listed in the Wildlife Protection Act (1972), with many in Schedule 1. . In this image, an elusive and fierce Pakke tiger growls his contempt at a camera trap! He was camera captured by late Pakke Forest Guard Koro Tayem. 
Royal Bengal tiger sighted in Ripu reserve forest
The tiger camera-trapped have come by crossing India-Bhutan border.  *This image is copyright of its original author The sighting of a royal Bengal tiger for the first time in Ripu reserve forest, which is outside the core area of Manas National Park, has brought cheer to animal activists. The place where the tiger has been camera trapped is 3km from the India-Bhutan international border and is in the buffer area of Manas TR. The camera trapping was done by WWF in association with Manas tiger reserve authorities. Green Forest Conservation volunteers of United Forest Conservation Network based in Kachugaon helped in the exercise too. “From a very bad state of early 2000, multiple efforts have been made to revive this area. In spite of disturbance and illegalities, there are areas, which still exist with dense forest cover and connectivity with Phibsoo wildlife sanctuary of Bhutan,” a WWF official said. “There were a few unofficial tiger sighting records that exist in these areas. Following this information, the team deployed camera traps in nine strategic locations (single unit/location) under the Kachugaon and Sarfan ranges of Ripu. On February 5, a single royal Bengal tiger’s photo was captured. We are expecting more such information from our field survey,” the WWF official told on Thursday. Amal Sarma, the field director of Manas, said, “This is heartening news as the area where the tiger has been spotted is outside the core area of Manas. It would be better if the area is included in the national park.” A source said the proposal for declaring the Ripu Chirang reserve forest as a protected area has been long pending, with the Wildlife Institute of India first proposing the area fit for inclusion in a sanctuary in 1988. Indo-Bhutan transboundary perfected areas (Buxa to immediate west of Ripu).  *This image is copyright of its original author “If Ripu-Chirang becomes a sanctuary, the important conservation link between Buxa tiger reserve-Phipsu wildlife sanctuary-Royal Manas National Park (in Bhutan)-Manas National Park will be restored and preserved,” the source added. “This will give a boost to the Transboundary Manas Conservation Area too. All it needs is effective steps to be taken for the conservation of the area,” a wildlife expert said. Forest officials said Ripu-Chirang was first notified as a reserve forest in 1927 and the best quality sal (Shorea robusta) was supplied to the erstwhile British empire from the forest. It used to have a tram-line for carrying water and timber from the forest, which was unique to the country.
The Kaziranga Tiger: I posted the pic of this tiger a couple of days earlier. I didn't like to tell the story of ailment of a fallen king. So no stories were added. Many however asked about the story, and I personally answered to them instead of adding at top.
Last night one gentleman commented that it was FAKE. So I had to answer him with a screenshot of the RAW file info. I felt any one can disbelieve if the story remains untold. Why there was a stoic co-existence? The actual story unfolded this way: Probably the tiger had a territorial fight 'nd got the right eye badly injured. Now you can see it, I chose to hide it in the first post. It wanted to rest. Probably the rhino and the tiger understood each other's mind and did not disturb one another. Actually a wild boar too attended the show, as did the jungle mynas. A herd of deer and a couple of juvenile black-necked storks were a few yards to the left of this location. I may be wrong in my interpretation. Peace prevailed and the animals co-existed as if there were none in their neighborhood. That's East Kaziranga (Agaratoli) on the evening of 8th of March 2020, Sunday  *This image is copyright of its original author

Scarface of Kaziranga! Despite Kaziranga reportedly having a tiger density of 32.64 tigers per 100 sq.km, the highest in the country, it's not every day that you get to see these beauties, primarily because of the vast vegetation and tall grasslands and on top of that the typically shy and elusive nature of the tigers in the region. On our very first day and first safari, we saw a sub-adult tiger few feet away from our jeep, as soon as it sensed our presence it ran away into the thickets at the speed of a bullet even before we could pick our camera and shoot. On the second day morning safari after spending some time shooting the great Indian hornbills, we decide to have a round of the park and went on to check a lake. On reaching the lake we were greeted by this male tiger staring at us. No alarm calls, no pugmark tracking, just the right place and at the right moment. To much of our delight, this male didn't shy away and continued staring us for 10-15 seconds before moving on. His injured right eye and scars on the face is a sign of a territorial fight with another male. He looked old and ferocious but had all the grace, dominance and boldness. This sighting lasted for around 5-7 minutes approx, is one of the most memorable one and on par with my Sundarban Tiger moments  *This image is copyright of its original author

The picture of the male and female gives a true reflection of how big these tigers actually are because that is a HUGE female and she is dwarfed by the male.Kaziranga is a completely different world from any other place in India. It's truly the most captivating Tiger habitat on earth IMO. |
