Ranthambore National Park is well known for its majestic tigers residing in this region for decades. With the unending stretches of sand of Rajasthan, there is a forest zone in the Sawai Madhopur district, where many felines live with pride for years. The Ranthambore Fort, which is commonly known as the royal hunting ground of the Maharajas of Jaipur, is located amidst the forest. Now the warriors, the nearby villagers, and some volunteers of wildlife NGOs are staying at the place to save and protect the animals from danger.
Their main aim is to set up a program with a few villagers’ help, providing information on their movements to the forest department. Around fifty volunteers are indulged in giving real-time information to save the tigers from poaching or any ill practice of hunting on them. Their efforts have shown positive reports; they have reduced the poaching of wild beasts in Ranthambore National Park. With the use of special equipment, the tracing of the animals has become easy and efficient.
By these events, the forest officials encountered forty poachers who came there to kill tigers for their illegal business by selling the tigers’ valuable body parts. Villagers who are also working with them are provided with stipends to raise their income for their livelihood. Villagers are very much aware of the tigers’ moods and behaviors as they share the same territory with the animals. Volunteers are also working for the villagers to compensate for tigers killing their cattle from the State Government. They face huge losses, as the tigers are frequently killing their cattle to quench their hunger in the Ranthambore National Park.
The program was started in the year 2013 when few volunteers from a well-known NGO began to the program with a few villagers’ help. It involves the community on the conservation program for the benefits of the tigers and them too. This program has also benefited by discovering that Ranthambore National Park embraces the rarest species of the Earth, and at the same time, 30 Gharials were about to give birth to their little ones.
This type of news generally excites the wildlife enthusiasts who want to explore the park and its wilderness. The park welcomes travelers throughout the years, but the best time to visit the park and its nature is winter. Ranthambore safaris are the park’s main attraction, but before boarding the safari, you have to obtain a Ranthambore Safari Booking in advance. Plan a trip to Ranthambore to see the wilderness by your bare eyes, roaming in front of you.
