The thriving big cat population at the Jim Cor bett National Park might be a showpiece for successful con servation, but the famous wildlife sanctuary's tigers and leopards might be at risk from canine diseases from 17,000 odd dogs living in villages in the 5km buffer zone.

A first-of-its-kind survey of wildlife habitats in India conducted by Humane Society International, India, a leading animal rights group, found most of the dogs were unvacci nated and are possible prey for felines who spill out of the core areas of the sanctuary .

Though dogs are not natu ral diet for tigers, the interface with areas populated by humans makes them vulnerable.However, dogs are a prey for the leopards who often raid villages and isolated dwellings looking for an easy meal. The survey makes a case for immediate vaccination of around 13,000 dogs which might infect the big cats with diseases that are not found in the wild. The survey of dog population is considered the best means of determining the vaccination gap and prevent canine diseases from transferring to felines.

Amit Chaudhari, who led the team in conducting the survey around the Jim Corbett National Park in October, told TOI that vaccinations are a preventive action.

“The majority of dogs in the buffer zone are owned by the villagers. There are many instances wherein the dogs are snatched away by the big cats. Largely unaware of these infections and the vaccinations for them, the villagers have not given jabs to these dogs,“ Chaudhari said. Research shows tigers and leopards in such sanctuaries are at risk from canine diseases like rabies, parvo and distemper, all viruses that can be transferred from canine to feline. Vaccination is also important to protect humans and prevent reprisals against the canines.There have been instances where people killed dogs around Ranthambore national park in Rajasthan, fearing spread of diseases in the area.

The HSI is currently preparing a proposal for the NTCA on how to take the project to the next phase of vaccination by running a pilot project that can be then extended to other national parks. “The vaccination drive will not on ly create a healthy habitat for the wildlife but also for the humans inhabiting these areas, making it a first of its kind project in India“, said the HSI while disclosing basic details of the survey .

Rahul Sehgal, director of HSI, Asia, said, “This survey is the first step towards the `Free Roaming Dog Population Program' that will help in further protecting the dogs and the wildlife habitat. After the survey , we now wish to vaccinate the dogs and identify if any are already infected.“

 When the park was first set up in 1936, it was known as Malcolm Hailey Park after the first Lt Governor of the United Provinces.
 Between 1954 and 1956, the tiger reserve was called ‘Ramganga National Park’ — after the Ramganga river that flows through it — before it was renamed in a tribute to noted hunter and conservationist Jim Corbett.

		+	The first phase of the Corbett Tiger Reserve’s (CTR’s) first-ever bird survey has documented over 350 species spread across the region. The three-day first phase which concluded this week has identified 11 types of woodpeckers along with five species of barbets and five types of parakeet, among many other species of birds.
		+
		+	It is estimated that Corbett has around 500 bird species. However, no official survey has been done as yet to document the exact number of bird species in the reserve. Speaking to TOI, Shah Belal, senior wildlife biologist at CTR, said the three-day survey reiterated that there is little to be concerned about the Great Hornbill species whose numbers were believed to be decreasing. “The birds indicate the health of a forest. Till now, it was believed that there are around 500 bird species here but we now estimate that the number is much higher. We have also found Great Hornbills in several habitats which allay the fear that their numbers are decreasing,” he said.
		+
		+	The survey was undertaken by 26 teams, each with a bird expert. Belal said the next two phases of the survey will be conducted after the monsoons and during winters to document migratory birds.

 “This is serious. The soaring temperatures have resulted in a situation where we have had to increasingly depend on supplied water to meet the requirements of the animals,“ said Saket Badola, deputy director of the park.
