The Uttar Pradesh forest department is also planning to attach GPS-enabled collars on the necks of tigers to make it easy to identify and locate them. Kamlesh Kumar, conservator of forests, Moradabad division, said the move will be of great help to forest officials. "The cameras will enable us to know about the behavioral changes in tigers. For instance, it will help in knowing which resident tiger of Corbett Tiger Reserve (CTR) is moving out for a new territory and we would be able to avoid animal and human conflict."
Forest officials also plan to attach collars fitted with GPS technology on tigers which move constantly. "It is a long process as first we need to tranquilize the animal. This would be done only when it is most needed," Kumar said.
The installation of the large number of cameras is also expected to help in locating the maneater tigress which has killed at least seven persons in west UP in about two months. "We have launched an extensive campaign to trace the tigress but she has not been sighted anywhere.
With no fresh attacks, it seems that she has entered CTR, but now, if she comes back, we would be able to track her," a senior forest official said.
The process of installing the cameras has been started at Nazirabad forest division which is connected to CTR. "Around 100 cameras have to be placed in the forest. We are getting them in small quantities from Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun," Kumar said.
