History of Project Tiger

The Indian government, led by Indira Gandhi, initiated Project Tiger in 1973 from the Jim Corbett National Park in Uttarakhand.

Goals of Project Tiger

  • To determine the causes of the decline in tiger habitats
  • To reduce the number of tigers through effective management techniques.
  • To improve the state of natural ecosystems that have been harmed through time.
  • To preserve an adequate tiger population in light of the animals' economic, ecological, and cultural importance.

Conservation Units under Project Tiger

Several conservation units are developed to assist Project Tiger with project management.

Project Tiger's Primary Buffering Approach

  • In order to regulate tiger density effectively, tiger reserves are created using a "core-buffer" concept.
  • The core area of the reserve is a specific section of land that has been designated and signposted as such.
  • The central areas have the legal status of a national park or wildlife sanctuary and are devoid of any human activity.
  • The designated "buffer" areas surround the main areas.
  • Wildlife does not regularly use these places.
  • In buffer zones, specific human activity is allowed.
  • The buffer zones serve two main functions: first, they provide additional habitat for wild animals from core areas, and second, they provide a source of income for the nearby villages.
