PUNE: Wildlife SOS in collaboration with U P Forest Department and Archaeological Survey of India are launching a wildlife research project to study and eventually translocate about 30- 35 wild jackals from Akbar's Tomb in Sikandra, Agra to safe natural habitat.
The Jackal Translocation Project is an initiative of the Uttar Pradesh Forest Department and Archeological Survey of India in collaboration with Wildlife SOS to protect the resident Blackbuck (Antilope cervicapra) population in Akbar's tomb while also protecting jackals. Several young fawns of Black bucks are killed frequently by jackals due to unnatural proximity between these two species created by accidental confinement inside Akbar Tomb premises. When the perimeter of the monument was secured, several jackals got accidentally trapped inside the 40 acre premises.
Due to such unnatural confinement the jackals started reproducing and their numbers went up. Since there is no natural predator for the jackals inside the Akbars tomb premises, there was no natural check on the jackal population. As a result the jackals were preying on the young fawn of the black bucks which resulted in stunted reproduction in the black bucks. According to the survey results, this project would help save almost 100 blackbucks.
