TIGER TRAILS (INDIA)
|
Tiger trails to the nilgiri biosphere :
Tiger is the most charismatic of all land mammals and the Apex predator in our ecosystem. Unfortunately the tiger populations have been dwindling and is believed to be lower than 2000 in India because of various reasons like habitat loss , hunting for the body parts to be used in the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) etc.There are 5 subspecies of tigers in the world today they are the Siberian , royal Bengal , indo Chinese , south china and Sumatran tigers. The bali , javan and the Caspian tigers are all extinct . Indian subspecies is known as the royal Bengal tiger which is predominant in the whole of the India.
The Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve (NBR) , the first of the fourteen biosphere reserves of India, established in September 1986, embraces the sanctuary complex of Wyanad , Nagarhole, Bandipur and Mudumalai , the entire forested hill slopes of Nilambur , the Upper Nilgiri plateau , Silent Valley and the Siruvani hills.
The NBR possesses different habitat types, unspoilt areas of natural vegetation types with several dry scrub , dry and moist deciduous , semi evergreen and wet evergreen forests , evergreen sholas , grass lands and swamps . The NBR includes the largest known population of two endangered animal species, namely the Nilgiri Tahr and the Lion - tailed macaque and the largest South Indian population of elephant, tiger, gaur, sambar and chital as well as a good number of endemic and endangered plants. The NBR is the habitat of a number of tribal groups remarkable for their traditional modes of harmonious use of the environment.
