Tigernet
A directory for Tiger and other wildlife mortality
Tigernet website www.tigernet.nic.in, developed by TRAFFIC India in association with the National Tiger Conservation Authority, is one of the first consolidated databases in India on mortality and poaching related to Tigers and other protected species within tiger reserves. It was launched by Mr Jairam Ramesh, Hon. Minister of State (Independent Charge), Ministry of Environment and Forests in January 2010 and gives Tiger reserve directors and chief wildlife wardens in India the ability to key-in crucial information about Tiger deaths, poaching and seizures.
Gathering accurate information on such Tiger activities is crucial to assisting anti-poaching efforts. The new system allows enforcement officers to record information on Tiger mortalities, to monitor patterns of where poaching incidents are occurring and use this information to strengthen anti-poaching efforts. The information will be available in the public domain, while Field Directors and Chief Wildlife Wardens will be required to log in to key in information on Tiger-related issues.
The new website aims to simplify the whole Tiger death reporting system and allow a more accurate and transparent picture to be generated of the poaching and other threats facing the nation's Tiger population.
