    Movement of Radio-collared tigers in the Eastern Vidarbha Landscape, Maharashtra, India
    (Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun, 2018) Habib, Bilal; Nigam, Parag; Hussain, Zehidul; Ghaskadbi, Pallavi Surendra
    To understand the movement ecology of tigers in the Eastern Vidarbha Landscape, focusing on individual patterns of space use in general, utilization distribution in different areas and landscape, spatio-temporal activity and effect of environmental features on animal movement, the point-wise objectives are as follows: 1. To understand the movement of tigers that drives population connectivity on a landscape scale and effect of environmental features on dispersal. 2. To validate the modeled corridors and identify new functional corridor and habitats in a highly dynamic landscape. 3. Directly aiding effective conservation and management of tigers beyond the Protected Area (PA) system as a result of real-time data from radio-collars.

    Telemetry based tiger corridors of Vidarbha Landscape, Maharashtra India
    (Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun, 2021) Habib, Bilal; Nigam, P.; Mondal, I.; Hussain, Z.; Ghaskadbi, P.; Govekar, R.S.; Praveen, N.R.; Banerjee, J.; Ramanujam, R.M.; Ramagaonkar, J.
    The Vidarbha Landscape (VL) is very important as it harbours a population of about 331 tigers and forms the connecting link between the central and southern Indian tiger populations. It plays a pivotal role in exchange of individuals and thereby facilitates gene flow between these two populations increasing the viability of tiger populations in India. There are 8 protected areas or wildlife divisions where these tigers live, but these refuges are scattered like islands in a sea of human dominated landscape. Therefore, knowing the locations of tiger movement corridors and probable areas of human tiger conflict is especially important for a wildlife manager.
