Ahmedabad, 11 April 2023
Narendra Modi made boastful announcements about tigers at the University of Mysore in Mysore, Karnataka on 9 April 2023. But the last tiger in Gujarat died in a road accident during his chief ministership. A promise was made to bring a tiger to a safari park in Gujarat, but the tiger has not yet arrived. The Gujarat tiger has become free. There are a large number of tigers in 18 states of India, so why not in Gujarat? Tigers can be reintroduced in the forests of Dang, Chhotaudepur, Narmada in Gujarat. A sanctuary like Sariska is a perfect example. That’s why Gujarat should also restore tigers. Which Modi does not want to do since 9 years. Although tigers are present in 18 states, they get 6 times more money than lions, but in Gujarat they don’t even pay for tiger safari parks. In Jakhana and Jogbadi villages at the foothills of Saputara hill station, it has been announced to build a tiger park in limited condition on 28.96 hectares of land. But no steps are being taken to bring back the tigers in the wild.
International Big Cats Alliance
Project Tiger is completing 50 years today. The International Big Cats Coalition (IBCA) was launched at the University of Mysore in Mysore, Karnataka to commemorate 50 years of Project Tiger. The International Big Cat Alliance will focus on the conservation of the world’s 7 major big cat species. These include tiger, lion, panther, snow leopard, puma, jaguar and cheetah. Countries that are home to such animals will be part of this alliance. Member countries will be able to exchange their experiences. They will be able to help their fellow countrymen more quickly. Emphasis will be on research, training and capacity building. Together these species can be saved from extinction. A safe and healthy ecosystem can be created.
tiger population
Summary Report of All India Tiger Estimation (5th Round) released. Wagh was honored by giving a standing ovation. The success of the project is a proud moment for the world. India has not only prevented the tiger population from declining but has also provided an ecosystem where tigers can thrive. India has 75% of the world’s tiger population. The area of tiger reserve in India is spread over 75,000 square kilometers of land. In 12 years, there has been an increase of 75 percent in the population of tigers in the country.
Tiger numbers in other countries are stable or declining. India’s traditions and culture have an affinity for its biodiversity and environment.
India does not believe in the conflict between ecology and economy. Gives equal importance to the co-existence of both.
A pictorial representation of a tiger was found on rock art ten thousand years old in Madhya Pradesh. Others, including the Bharia community of central India and the Worli community of Maharashtra, worship the tiger, while many communities in India regard the tiger as a friend and brother. Maa Durga and Lord Ayyappa are also riding a tiger.
Protection of nature is a part of Indian culture. India has only 2.4 percent of the world’s land area, but India contributes 8 percent of the known global biodiversity.
Linking the advertisements done by Narendra Modi to Gujarat creates a picture that he has done injustice to Gujarat. They have not done what has been said for Gujarat.
This is the condition of tigers in Gujarat. ,
9 species of tigers
There are total 9 species of tigers in the world. These 3 species of Bali, Java, Caspian tigers have become extinct. Whereas in the world there are species like Siberian, Indian, South China Tiger, Malayan, Indo Chinese Tiger, Sumatran. There are total 13 tiger range countries including India. These include Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Nepal, Myanmar, Russia, Thailand and Vietnam. The tigers of Gujarat are dead.
Tigers were eradicated from Gujarat under Modi rule
The tiger was extinct from Gujarat but after 25 years the tiger has appeared again. In 1993, Modasa had one tiger in the 1997 census after attacking three people. Now again about 15 km from Nijar in Tapi district of South Gujarat. A tiger was recently spotted at night near a small village called Namgaon on the outskirts of Maharashtra. In February 2019, after a tiger carcass was found in a forest in Mahisagar district, the name tiger has disappeared from Gujarat.
100 years ago
About a century ago, there were tigers in Ahmedabad, Kheda and Anand as well. Before independence, British officers and members of the erstwhile Rajput royalty used to go hunting in Danta and Rajpipla. That’s why the tiger died. Royal guests of the Vadodara kingdom used to go hunting and ‘trophy hunting’ around Surat.
Tiger in Ahmedabad
1943
In October 1943, two tigers were hunted at Mount Abu. The tigers were entering the limits of Ahmedabad. A total of 8 tigers including Raja, Sangeeta, Seema have come to the Kankaria Zoo in Ahmedabad in the last 30 years. While Pratap, Annaya and the white tigers have made Zhu their home since 2008.
1960
When Gujarat was separated from Bombay, there were at least 50 tigers in the state. Which were found in Dang, Vansda, Dharampur, Kaprada, Songadh, Mandvi, Bihar, Nesu, Ukai, Dediapada, Netrang besides Ratnamahal, Vijayanagar, Danta, Ambaji and Amirgarh.
Ambaj
Till 1976, tigers lived in the forests of Ambaji. After the 1979 census of Gujarat’s tigers, Gujarat wildlife warden M.A. Rashid warned that how many tigers should exist in Gujarat. In the survey conducted after 10 years only 13 tigers were found in Gujarat.
Not a single tiger was found in the 1992 census.
In the 1979 tiger census in Gujarat, a total of seven tigers were recorded in Dang, Valsad, Vyara, Rajpipla, Mandvi, Danta and Ambaji.
In 1989 there were 9 tigers in Gujarat (in Dang). In 1993 there were 5 tigers and in 1997 there was 1 tiger. In 2001 it was again officially declared that tigers have become extinct in Gujarat.
Tigers were sighted until the mid-1980s. Those who were settled in the Dang, Narmada and Sabarkantha regions dwindled in number and became extinct in Gujarat.
From 1991 to 1993 H.N. When Singh was a forest officer in Sabarkantha, he used to hear about tigers from the people of Poshina and Meghraj.
reappeared in 1985
According to the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA), tigers were sighted in the Bheskhatari area of Vyara taluka in Gujarat in 1985. This tiger died in a road accident. He jumped from the forest department team in Maharashtra.
Three people were injured in Meghraj in 1993
An official of the Forest Department says that on 3-3-1993, three animals were admitted in an injured condition to the hospital of Modasa on the Rajasthan border of Meghraj. In Dungarpur district, within a radius of 5 to 6 km from the Gujarat border, people killed a tiger and buried it in the ground. Which shows that there were tigers in Sabarkantha till 1993. A tiger ran into the jungle.
2001 – Tiger declared extinct again
After the Wildlife Census in 2001, the Government of Gujarat declared that there were no tigers in the state.
tiger marks in 2016
According to Kaushik Banerjee, a scientist at the Wildlife Institute of India, tigers were seen near Malegaon in Nashik. Significantly, this area is very close to the Dang area of Gujarat. Dang is therefore included in the tiger count. According to a report given in November, 2016, a tiger was reported to be 3-4 km away from the Dang forest. In 2016, the Gujarat government sent a proposal to start a safari park to the central government. Tiger faeces samples have been found since 2016 in several areas of Chinchli Bari, Borgarh, Dang, located on the border of Gujarat and Maharashtra. Here tigers enter Gujarat and go back to Maharashtra. Due to this pug, NTPC can install camera traps in such border areas to get information about the movement of tigers.
studied in 2017
In July 2017, a team of forest officials surveyed the forest areas of Dang, but did not find a single tiger. The DCF of the Maharashtra Nandurbar Forest Department has confirmed the presence of a tiger in the Koknipada forest on the Gujarat-Maharashtra border. How did Suresh do it? The claw marks were attributed to the tiger from the Nagpur Wildlife Lab.
2018 Tiger Debate in Rajya Sabha
On 6 January 2018, Rajya Sabha MP Parimal Nathwani claimed that tigers are alive in the Ahvan forest. There are reports of a tiger migrating to Gujarat from Ratapani Tiger Sanctuary in Madhya Pradesh. In September 2017, its location was found in the forests of Jabua. Gujarat Forest Department tried to track this tiger on the basis of Marak and Pagoda. Its final location was just twenty kilometers away from the Gujarat border.
2018 – Tigers are counted
On 27 July 2018, a tiger has been seen near the Gujarat border, which is a strong evidence that it attacked. Earlier on January 1, 2018, the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) had conducted a census in the tiger reserves across the country in the month of January. During the last two years, tiger cubs were found on the Gujarat-Maharashtra and Gujarat-Madhya Pradesh borders.
Sometimes ‘forgotten’ tigers are seen in Gujarat, but the fact is that even after the formation of the state, despite all the efforts for the conservation of tigers, they could not be saved.
2022 – Tiger Safari Park will be built
The Government of India has approved the construction of Tiger Safari Park in Narmada district. It was decided to build a park in Tilakwara area of Narmada district on 78 hectares by bringing one male and one female and four tiger cubs from Kanha National Park at a cost of Rs 20 crore. Six meter high fencing will be done. Here 607 Chausar km. There is a forest. It is a suitable place for tigers to live. In 2016, the Gujarat government sent a proposal to start a safari park to the central government. For that the officers of the Government of India visited. In which Tilakwara-Kakadiya region was found suitable for tigers. The people of Gujarat have to go to Ranthambore and Kanha to see the tiger. The project will be completed by 2022. An area of 43 hectares will be protected only for tigers. The forests of Kutch and Bharuch, Dang have an environment where tigers cannot survive due to the absence of herbivores. If deer and buffalo are protected for 10 years, tigers can also live there. In such a situation, there was a possibility that the tiger might come back to Gujarat. Zoos can be shifted to Gandhinagar, Ahmedabad, Rajkot, Surat, Junagadh etc. if there is an additional number.
Safari Park in Ambardi
A proposal was sent in 2006 for a Safari Park at Ambardi. It got in-principle approval in 2008, but technical committee approval was received only in 2017. Still Modi did nothing.
The climate explains the reason for the absence of tigers in the forest areas of Gujarat.
In the year 2010, July 29 was celebrated as World Tiger Day.was designated as
Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Karnataka have the highest number of tigers in India. In 2006, the total number was 1411. The then Prime Minister of India Manmohan Singh had set a doubling target of 2022. which has been successful. The three states of Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka and Uttarakhand have the maximum number of 1492 tigers in India.
After becoming the Prime Minister, Modi has been slapping Gujarat for giving money to the lions of Gir. Whose voice has been told by the director of Reliance by asking questions.
cost behind a lion
In the last three years, the central government has given Rs. 2967 for tigers. 1010.42 crore and for 523 lions Rs. 32 crores have been given. A lion behind in 3 years Rs. 6,11,854 have been spent. Spends 2 lakh rupees in a year. In which the cost of Gujarat government is 6 lakh rupees, then the government is spending 8 lakh rupees on one lion of Gujarat.
cost behind a tiger
Same is the condition of tigers. Governments are spending 5.50 times more on tigers than on lions. Rs 34,05,527 has been spent on a tiger. The government spends Rs 11 lakh in a year, which is more than a person’s expenditure.
spend more on tigers than on lions
The central government has allocated Rs 1010.42 crore for Project Tiger and Rs 1010.42 crore for Project Tiger under the Wildlife Habitat Development Scheme implemented by the central government. 32 crore fund was given. Cool has spent Rs 1042 crore.
The central government has allocated Rs 100,000 for the years 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19 respectively under the Wildlife Habitat Development Scheme in Gujarat including Asiatic Lion Conservation. 4.98 crores Rs. 5.59 crores and Rs. 21.42 crore was given. For the same period, under Project Tig the central government has allocated Rs. 342.25 crores Rs. 345 crores and Rs. 323.17 crore was given.
Lions are found in Gir in Gujarat, while tigers are found in many states of India and many countries in Asia.
tigers outnumbered lions
The number of lions increased by 45.68 percent from 359 in 2005 to 523 in 2015, while the number of tigers increased by 73.91 percent from 1706 in 2010 to 2967 in 2018 in the last three censuses. In this way there has been success in increasing the population of lions. Which is a big fight for BJP and Narendra Modi, who have been ruling Gujarat for 25 years. In Singh’s Gir area, 1098 cases of violence against animals were reported in 16 years. Which shows that the lion is in danger.
Nothing was done for the tortoise and the horse and the tiger
India had to implement the Marine Turtle Policy and the Marine Sustainable Management Policy to combat microplastic pollution. Which Modi has not yet been able to bring. 4 out of 7 cats found in the world are found in Gujarat. Former Chief Minister and Prime Minister Narendra Modi has done nothing for Gujarat to rehabilitate tigers and save birds from extinction. (Gujarati to Gulag translation)
