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.
