Acting on such assumptions India Bangladesh and Nepal the Only remaining places where Indi an tigers still Are found have banned Tiger shooting. Indeed the Days of the Tiger Shikar or Hunt seem gone forever. But clearly this has not substantially helped the Tiger s fight for survival. Wildlife authorities Only now Are Awakening to the fact that it is the Man with the hoc the villager who clears the tall grass country for farming who is the main threat. Nowhere in the world has destruction of the Natu ral wilderness the Habi Tat of wildlife proceeded with such Speed and totality As on the Indian sub Conti wrote naturalist b. Seshadri in his Book the Twilight of India s wildlife. It has been the most de c i s i v e Factor in the catastrophic diminution of India s wildlife within and outside the sanctuaries in the last 25 during the 1960s, 4 Mil lion acres of forests in India were cleared for various economic develop in e n t purposes such As land settlement. Habitat destruction is vividly illustrated in the Vest pocket size hindu kingdom of Nepal. Although famous for my. Everest Nepal has areas containing More timers per Square mile than any com parable area throughout the Range of the species. The most knowledgeable Man to talk about the relationship Between tigers and people in Nepal is Chuck Mcdougal. He s toasted Brown from the Sun trim 42 years old an american married to a Lovely nepalese girl and Speaks the local language fluently. Doctor Charles Mcdougal Holder of a in anthropology from the University of new Mexico is operations director of Tiger tops Jungle Lodge. This is a Pri vate firm that gives ele Phant Back Tours of the chit an National Park. The whole Story of the demise of the Tiger in Nepal can be traced to the eradication of malaria in the said or. Mcdougall. The Terai is the unbaked Plain of Southern Nepal. In the Early 1950s, said or. Mcdougal the Terai was virtually without humans because malaria was so prevalent. With the assistance of the world health organization the nepalese government began a huge malaria Erad. Calion program. It ranks As one of the brightest Success stories in the annals of epidemiology. Malaria was banished from Nepal. At the same time a lot of land was going out of cultivation in the Hills be Rause of said or. Mcdougal. The govern in e n t began encouraging Hill people to move to the and with malaria gone people were no longer afraid. This became the new the Terai the Tiger s Domain suddenly experienced a population explosion in human beings. One Southern District adjacent to the Park went from inhabitants in 1961 to in 1971. With the villagers come cattle and Buffalo that Graze in the Forest eating the vegetation that normally would feed the Tiger s prey animals. When villagers build a hut they come into the Tiger s Domain to Cut tall elephant grass for thatch. And should the Tiger pounce on Domestic cattle when they intrude on his preserve the villagers bait a carcass with Dot and Poison the Tiger. An adult Tiger needs about 20 Square Miles for his said or. Mcdougal. A Tiger kills about pounds of prey Ani Mals a year. That s about 50 a reduction in game Ani Mals will cause the Tiger population to shrink until a new equilibrium is reached or. Mcdougal said. How does it shrink this is the key Point in the difference Between the effect of habitat destruction and Hunting on the Tiger population. When a Hunter bags a Tiger that is one dead Tiger. But the effects of habitat destruction have continuing repercussions. I the Tiger population does not get enough Range the female will come into heat less frequently. One Tiger will be forced to in Institute notes strange doings by William Scally Washington Reuter in he autumn of 1969 butterflies invaded Trinidad giant snails nested Miami and globules of Ticky spider webbing floated across Missouri causing Gen eral the three events were among scores reported to he smithsonian institution s Centre for Short lived phenom Ena through a network of world correspondents the Centre keeps a watchful Eye on strange often inexplicable and sometimes catastrophic happenings on Earth.
