The Ministry of Environment along with the Forest and
Wildlife Conservation Departments has decided to the use of technology for
protection and conservation of wildlife in India. Presently Royal Bengal
tigers, Asiatic lions, leopards, the one-horned Indian Rhinoceros and the
majestic Indian Elephant are considered as endangered species here in India.
The reasons for the animals being endangered are mainly due
to poaching or road and rail accidents. Even though there are a considerable
number of Wildlife National Parks and Sanctuaries present throughout India, but
still it is a cause of concern for all animal lovers and conservationists.
The Ministry is currently considering the finalizing of
Drones to be used in 10 sites as a takeoff venture. The drones would also be
equipped with cameras for day surveillance as well as night vision cameras for
after dusk operations. The battery powered drones would be functional for about
30 minutes on a minimum time span to an hour. The drones would be effective in
monitoring individual and herd movements of animals and also help in sighting
of poachers in the protected areas.
Whatever efforts that can be made to conserve the beautiful
fauna of India is being rigorously implemented by all concerned in their own
small and big ways. If the experiment shows successful results in the 10 sites,
that would beckon good days for these beautiful animals of ours.
For maintaining a healthy ecological balance of nature, the
existence of wildlife is a must. Tigeroath.com is a wildlife tour agent that organizes
wildlife tour packages and jungle safari packages in the major national parks
and wildlife sanctuaries such as Ranthambore, Bandhavgarh, Kanha, and Corbett
National Park.
