Ghasiram Tusker :
December, 2004, Ghasiram Sot, Chilla Range, Rajaji National Park. The mixed Sal forests along the foothills of the Himalayas were quiet. The nomadic Gujjar pastoralists who had occupied these forests had vacated as part of a voluntary resettlement program, and there was lush Saccharum spontaneum grass in the once heavily overgrazed dry river beds.This magnificent tusker was last seen in Rajaji National Park , Uttarakhand in 2009
Dead Bonelli’s Eagle:
Bonelli’s Eagle populations
have declined drastically throughout their range. In addition to persecution by
hunters and pigeon fanciers, pesticides, habitat degradation, loss of prey
species, and collision with powerlines are major factors contributing to their
decline

Stripe-necked Mongoose with Plastic Bottle, Bandipur:::
Littering is a serious problem in and around our wildlife sanctuaries. Driving on a road that cuts through any of these sanctuaries will show up water bottles, plastic covers and other trash. Not only do they harm the herbivores that feed on them, plastics leach chemicals into the soil causing damage to the eco-system in the long run.
