ग्रैजुएट ऑफ पवलगढ़ Bachelor of Powalgarh

दोस्तों, जिम कॉर्बेट, नेशनल पार्क का नाम मिस्टर जिम कॉर्बेट जी के नाम पर रखा गया है क्योंकि उन्होंने तैंतीस आदमखोर को मार डाला था, जिसमें से 19 बाघ थे। लेकिन उन 19 बाघों में से एक जो आदमखोर नहीं था, निर्दोष था।

उसका केवल एक कसूर था कि वो बहुत विशालकाय और असामान्य रूप से बड़ा टाइगर था। बस इसी गलती ने उसकी जान ले ली। और जिम कॉर्बेट जी जिन्होंने 1920 के दशक के अंत में उन्हें शपथ दिलाई थी कि वह बाघों का शिकार नहीं करेंगे। सिर्फ आदमखोर ही मारे गए। 

कसम खाने के 10 साल बाद यानी 1930 में कॉर्बेट ने अपनी कसम तोड़ दी क्योंकि उस समय ट्रॉफी हंटिंग की जाती थी। यानी शिकार किया हुआ जानवर ड्राइंग रूम की ट्रॉफी की तरह होता है। सारे रसूख वाले ट्रॉफी हंटर ग्रैजुएट ऑफ पवलगढ़ को हासिल करना चाहते थे। जिंदा नहीं सिर्फ और सिर्फ मुर्दा।

उसके विशाल आकार के बारे में सुन के कॉर्बेट ने भी अपनी कसम तोड़ दी और वो निर्दोष कुंवारा ही मारा गया। अगर उसे अपना घर बसाने का मौका मिलता तो शायद आज हम कह सकते थे कि सबसे बड़ा टाइगर साइबेरियन टाइगर नहीं। रॉयल बंगाल टाइगर उतर आया। आपको बताता हूं कैसे वो विशाल गैर निर्दोष टाइगर मारा गया। बैचलर ऑफ पवलगढ़ एक असामान्य रूप से बड़ा करियर था, जिसमें साइज था 10 फीट सात इंच। सन 1920 से 1930 के बीच में जिस समय रसूख वाले लोग ट्रॉफी हंटिंग करते थे, यानी शेर को मारकर उसके शरीर या सिर को अपने ड्राइंगरूम में ट्रॉफी की तरह सजाते थे। उस समय इस टाइगर को मारना हर ट्रॉफी हंटर का सपना था। 

जिसको मारने के लिए फौलाद की औलाद होना जरूरी था। इसलिए वो पवलगढ़ के जंगल में राज  करता रहा कॉर्बेट ने बैचलर ऑफ पवलगढ़ को पहली बार 1923 में देखा था। वो तीन साल पहले निर्दोष टाइगर को न मारने की कैसे भूल गया। उस समय ब्रिटिश सरकार का नियम था दिन में शिकार करो, लेकिन रात में न करो तो दिन में बैचलर आराम करता था और रात में शिकार। इसलिए वो शिकारियों से बचा हुआ था। कॉर्बेट जो ब्रिटिश आर्मी के कर्नल थे। उन्होंने कमिश्नर वार्डन को साथ लिया क्योंकि ये माना जाता था कि जितना कमिश्नर वन्य प्राणियों के बारे में जानते हैं उतना तो टाइगर खुद भी नहीं जानता। अपने बारे में टाइगर को एक पगमार्क मिला। नापा गया और कमिश्नर ने बताया कि ये टाइगर करीब 10 फीट पाँच इंच का हो। बैचलर ऑफ पवलगढ़ न सिर्फ विशालकाय था बल्कि चतुर भी था और किस्मत का भी धनी था। दो बार उसका शिकारियों से नजदीकी से सामना हो चुका था, 

लेकिन दोनों बार उसकी किस्मत ने साथ दिया। शिकारी अंडरसन से सामना हुआ तो अंडर सन् की बंदूक कही। उलझ गई और जब तक बंदूक निकली चतुर बैचलर गायब हो चुका था। अंडरसन ने उसको नजदीक से देखा और उसको घोड़े के आकार का बताया। दूसरे शिकारी एडी से उनका भी सामना हुआ नजदीक से। लेकिन जब बैचलर सामने आया तो एडी को उम्मीद नहीं थी पर वो अपना पाइप भर रहा था। चतुर बैचलर शेर गायब हो गया। कैडी ने बताया कि बैचलर गधे के आकार का टाइगर है एक चरवाहा जो पहले शिकारी था, जिसे बैचलर ने धमकाया था उसके जानवरों के शिकार के लिए उसने बैचलर को ऊंट के आकार का बताया। 

जब सात साल बाद कॉर्बेट ने बैचलर को मारा और उसका साइज नापा तो करीब वही सही साइज था, जो कमिश्नर ने बताया था। कमिश्नर ने 10 फीट पाँच इंच बताया था और बैचलर था। 10 फीट सात इंच का। सन् 1930 में एक डाक रनर जो कि पैदल डाक लेकर जाता था, उसने बताया कि उसने बहुत बड़ा टाइगर का पगमार्क देखा। इतना बड़ा पग उसने पहले कभी नहीं देखा था। अगली सुबह कॉर्बेट अपने कुत्ते रॉबिन के साथ जंगल में निकल गया। रॉबिन ने टाइगर की स्माइल सुन ली और कॉर्बेट को बैचलर के काफी करीब पहुंचा दिया। लेकिन कॉर्बेट के पास प्रॉपर गन नहीं थी। इतने बड़े टाइगर को मारने के लिए और नाश्ते का टाइम भी हो गया। कॉर्बेट घर आए और नाश्ता किया और रॉबिन को घर पर छोड़कर वापस जंगल चले गए। इस बार उनके हाथ में थी प्वाइंट फोर जीरो राइफल। जब वो जंगल पहुंचे तो जंगल में उन्हें एक आदमी के चिल्लाने की आवाज सुनाई दी। पास जाकर उन्होंने देखा कि एक आदमी पेड़ पर चढ़ा हुआ है और अपनी कुल्हाड़ी पेड़ पर मारा। वो टाइगर को डराने जाकर टाइगर उसकी भैसों को मारने आया था, लेकिन साथी को देखकर साइड में चला गया।

ये आदमी वही आदमी था, जो पहले शिकारी था और जिसने टाइगर को ऊंट के आकार का बताया था। कॉर्बेट से उसने कहा कि आप आगे। इसलिए मेरी जान बच गई, लेकिन अब उस टाइगर की जान न बचने पाए क्योंकि वो इतना बड़ा है कि मेरी एक भैस को एक दिन में खा सकता है पर वो मेरी 25 भैसों को 25 दिन में साफ कर देगा। कॉर्बेट तो पहले से ही बैचलर को ढूंढ रहे थे। प्वाइंट फोर फाइव जीरो की रायफल को लेकर अब कॉर्बेट प्लेन ग्रासलैंड में आगे और वे बैचलर की आवाज सुनाई दी। बैचलर अपनी मेहबूबा की तलाश में था और कॉर्बेट जानवरों की आवाज पहचानते थे और खुद भी जानवरों के आवाज निकाल लेते थे। उन्होंने भी वैसी ही आवाज निकाली। उधर से बैचलर ने जवाब दिया कि उसे लगा कि अब इंतजार की घड़ी खतम उसे इंतजार था। अपनी महबूबा से मिल लेगा, लेकिन उसे नहीं पता था कि ये मौत की आवाज लेकिन चतुर बैचलर दिल से मजबूर सा है और गलती कर बैठा। 

कॉर्बेट जमीन पर झाड़ियों के पास लेटकर अपनी पोजीशन ले चुके थे और उन्होंने फिर टाइग्रेस की आवाज निकाली। करीब 100 मीटर दूर से बैचलर ने फिर जवाब  दिया कॉर्बेट रेडी थे और करीब 80 सेकंड बाद बैचलर का सर झाड़ियों से निकला। कॉर्बेट ने उसकी आंख के एक इंच नीचे निशाना लगाकर गोली मार दी। कॉर्बेट को लगा था कि जब नीचे गिर जाए लेकिन वह बाहुबली बैचलर ऑफ पवलगढ़ था। उसने हवा में जंप लगाई और अपने पीछे के पेड़ को तहस नहस कर दिया।

Tiger on MANIT Collage Bhopal

A tiger fledgling meandering on the Maulana Azad Public Foundation of Innovation (MANIT) grounds here since the most recent five days has at last been captured by cameras set up in the vicinity, a woodland official said.

The lofty establishment had moved to internet showing mode last Thursday for a day, after woodland authorities found pug stamps and affirmed the presence of the huge feline on the grounds, the authority said on Sunday.

The renowned organization had moved to internet showing mode last Thursday for a day, after woods authorities found pug stamps and affirmed the presence of the huge feline on the grounds, the authority said on Sunday.

The foundation, which has a strength of 6,000-odd understudies, is spread more than 650 sections of land, of which 100 sections of land are covered with shrubberies, the establishment's recorder Binod Doley told PTI.

Bhopal divisional backwoods official (DFO) Alok Pathak said, "Our cameras have clicked photographs of the male tiger fledgling T-123-4, matured over two years and brought into the world to T-123, on the MANIT grounds on Saturday." Somewhere around 50 woods staff have worked throughout the previous five days and set up cameras to catch the catlike's pictures and the move at last took care of on Saturday, he said.

As per social examinations on tigers, they move out from a spot in seven to eight days. This is the creature's 6th day on the grounds, and it could move out in a little while, the authority said.

A tiger frames a region in a space of 25 sq km and moves inside it, killing and resting, he said.

The huge feline was living in a low-lying region like a gorge spread over a backwoods area of 300 to 400 sections of land, which was associated with the bushes on the MANIT grounds, the authority said.

"We have placed an enclosure with a trap on the grounds," Pathak said.

Tigers from the Ratapani Untamed life Safe-haven, spread in Raisen and Sehore locale near Bhopal, move in the Kerwa region of the state capital.

This time around, one of them, T-123-4, has wandered on to the instructive grounds, he said.

"We had changed to web based showing on Thursday after authorities informed us about the catlike's pug marks on the grounds. The following day, we went disconnected after the DFO let us know recorded as a hard copy that there was no danger to understudies and MANIT can go for disconnected classes," the establishment's advertising official Dr Amit Ojha said.

There was compelling reason need to frenzy or stress as woodland authorities have cordoned off the region where the tiger was remaining, he said.

No less than 1,000-odd individuals who are relatives of staff members and instructors and 5,000 hostellers living on the grounds have been approached to remain inside around evening time and early mornings when it is dull, MANIT enlistment center Doley said.

"We have done drills on the grounds to manage crises," he said.

Conclusion

• Authorities said this tiger is not man eater so they do not give permission to shot dead.
• Tranquilize a Tiger  to make him become calm, sleepy, or unconscious and put it behind the bars or put in captivity.
• We hope tiger on MANIT caught as soon as fast.

The wild life conservation for CHEETAH

 

Flora and fauna conservation can't be completed via advert hoc measures, it should involve human beings and feature a grounded coverage framework.

The African cheetahs arrived in India earlier this month amid extraordinary fanfare and political hoopla. They were kept in an enclosed vicinity for now however will soon be launched inside the wish that they will boost efforts to preserve India’s threatened and largely omitted grasslands. but, many natural world conservationists trust that the advent of those cheetahs now not most effective goes towards national conservation priorities but can even now not have any effect on defensive grasslands and open forest ecosystems as has been claimed. 

Conservation scientists like Ravi Chellam contend that a quicker and more efficient manner to preserve the grasslands could be to forestall categorising them as wastelands and delete them from the wasteland Atlas of India. this would enable a extra targeted conservation plan for them.

but has protecting habitats always been the prime consideration behind all selections related to natural world conservation? 

If sure, why become the Galathea national Park, an iconic nesting website online of the leatherback sea turtle, positioned inside the incredible Nicobar Island, denotified in 2021? 

complete sanctuaries have been denotified and erased off the map of India inside the call of improvement, says Prerna Bindra, writer and former member of, the countrywide Board for flora and fauna. 

The denotification of the Galathea countrywide Park coincided with the development plans for super Nicobar recommend with the aid of the NITI Aayog, the government’s public policy assume tank. Little concept become given to wherein the leatherbacks would nest once their web page became destroyed for a delivery project and how this would accelerate the steep decline of their populace, contends Bindra.

Securing the Wild

Protective habitats for the leatherback turtles assumes critical importance as their numbers are reducing sharply. these are the sector’s biggest turtles and the best species without scales and a hard shell. Named after their tough rubbery pores and skin, leatherback turtles have existed of their current form since the age of the dinosaurs. 

As leatherbacks are migratory, a number of them swim over 10,000 miles a year between nesting and foraging grounds. The possibilities of survival for those turtles making this hard journey and then locating their nesting grounds destroyed are bleak.

Shouldn’t this project were stopped by using the country wide Board for wildlife (NBWL), the government group constituted to protect wildlife, sanctuaries, and parks? Bindra factors out that rather than exercise its authority and taking corrective action, the NBWL allowed this to occur.

even as denotification of the Galathea countrywide Park couldn't be averted, a move to denotify a natural world sanctuary in Himachal Pradesh to installation a cement manufacturing facility turned into scuttled thanks to a newspaper report through award-winning veteran journalist Usha Rai.

Why stories Are essential

This became not the only time Rai used her pen to forestall the destruction of wildlife within the call of improvement.

It turned into Rai’s story on how the rich and powerful like industrialist Sameer Thapar, proprietor of JCT mills, Phagwara, could fly in helicopters and shoot at natural world within the Corbett national Park that sent shockwaves throughout the usa with the problem even being raised in Parliament. A case became lodged against Thapar for flouting environmental norms through touchdown a helicopter within the Corbett Tiger Reserve, a blanketed location.

Man-eater tiger of Champaran shot dead by Bihar STF

PATNA: A special task force team of Bihar police on saturday shot dead a royal bengal tiger that had turned man-eater and killed 10 people and scores of domestic animals on the fringes of Valmiki Tiger Reserve (VTR) following a 28-day marathon hunt, criss-crossing more than 30 square kilometres. 

Hours after the tiger, identified as T-104 mauled a woman and her daughter, it was shot dead near a village, leading to joyous scenes in many parts, where locals were afraid to venture out in the open after dark and had lost family members. 

“This special intensified operation comes to an end here, T-104, which was identified to be dangerous for human lives, was shot down by Bihar police jawans at 3.15 pm,” 

The three year old male tiger also named as 'man eater of champaran’ was born in a sugar cane field and lived most of its life near humans, making at least 10 human kills, and died in a sugarcane field and made eye- to- eye contact with its hunters even at the end, officials said.

Man Eater of Bihar

Shoot-at-sight order issued against a man-eater tiger in Bihar

Shoot at sight order was issued on Friday against a man-eater tiger in Bihar after the animal was suspected to have killed seven people, including a 12-year-old girl, near Chiwtahan and Govardhan forest area in past 25 days.

A team of forest officials — sharpshooters, trackers and veterinary experts of the State —have been trying to catch the tiger for past six days but the man-eater has continued to wreak havoc in the area.

Neshamani K., Field Director of the Valmiki Tiger Reserve (VTR), said that Bihar Chief Wildlife Warden P.K. Gupta has issued orders to shoot the tiger. A team of about 500 forest officials have reached near Dumri village to locate the tiger; a drone has also been deployed to track the animal, said officials.

“The tiger is of about 3.5 years old and has been killing people in the area since September 12. The Bihar government has given order to shoot the tiger at sight which has become dangerous for the local people”, a forest official involved in the operation told local media persons.

On Friday, in Damro Govadhan village under Ram Nagar police station, the tiger dragged a villager — Sanjay Mahto, 35 — to a dense sugarcane field when he had gone to relieve himself in the open nearby. According to the locals, the man had bite marks around his neck and his neck bone had been broken.

 

Why tiger become man eater?

Why tigers become man eater?

No tiger is born a man-eater but it is because of our own folly that it starts preying on humans. Sunderkhal is a case in point. It is a charming little village on the outskirts of Jim Corbett National Park. Flanked by River Kosi on one side and the hills of Corbett on the other, it normally gets overlooked by tourists zipping from Ramnagar to Dhangarhi – the main entry point to the world-famous national park. But even those who stop here remain blissfully unaware of Sunderkhal’s scary secret. While travelling from Ramnagar to Dhikala in Jim Corbett National Park, Uttarakhand, one usually overlooks the part of the road beyond Garjia Temple, which in  recent years has been made an accessible interface on the side of the road beside a gorge. Most of the vehicles travelling on the Ranikhet or Bhartrojkhan circuit stop at this temple and the pujari comes to you with an ‘aarti’ and ‘tilak’ plate. After you cross the noisy bridge on the gorge, immediately the road becomes steep and curvy. A kilometre beyond and the road turns into a flat terrain and then bifurcates. It is here that Sunderkhal starts.

Major points of tiger become man eater.

1) This is usually due to a tiger being incapacitated by a gunshot wound.

2) When tiger attacked on porcupine.

3) Such as health issues.

4) In some cases, tigers will change their natural diet to become man-eaters.

5) Human conflict in their territory.

6) Such as disabilities. 

The Man Eater Of CHAMPAVAT

Champawat Tiger

The Champawat Tiger was a Bengal Tigress responsible for an estimated 436 deaths in Nepal and the Kumaon division of India, during the last years of the 19th century and the first years of the 20th century. Her attacks have been listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the highest number of fatalities from a tiger (as well as any animal). She was shot and killed in 1907 by a 25 year old Jim Corbett.

The tiger would adjust her hunting strategy so as to best hunt and evade humans—travelling great distances between villages (as much as 32 km (20 mi) in a day, undertaken at night) in her new territory both to claim new victims and evade pursuers. Her behavior became more like a Siberian tiger in her habits and she created a larger territory to encompass multiple villages in the Kumaon area, with Champawat being close to the center of her territory. Most of her victims were young women and children, who often went into the forest to collect firewood, feed livestock, and gather resources for craft work.
