W ater is life! Just the way humans require water to live, animals also need it to survive and thrive. On average, a human can live up to 30 days without food, but it lasts only a few days without water. The story of water survival is the same with animals. As we celebrated World Water Day on 22nd March 2021, we decided to put a spotlight on the main water issues and challenges that are causing threats to wildlife. It is making survival a challenge! Why is Water a necessity for Wildlife? Animals can drink water, eat snow, or lick ice to survive and fulfil their water requirement. However, the key factor that changes the whole scenario of water bodies available is pollution. For consumption, animals require unpolluted sources of water. Sadly, the ratio of such clean and consumable water bodies to animals is relatively less. The problem is bound to increase in the coming future. Many animals are drawn towards rivers, streams, ponds, wetlands for habitat. Apparently, around 45-50% of the

How many of you like water bodies like oceans, seas, rivers, lakes, or even small ponds? Water bodies are always an attraction to any place and they enhance the beauty of the surroundings. However, if the surroundings are beautified with water sports and boating, it can certainly be an added asset. A water reservoir in the jungle is an advantage as it not only boosts the nature of the place but also quenches the thirst of animals. However, if a water safari is introduced, it can be a treat to tourists. Yes, Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve is planning to come up with a new addition wherein you can enjoy a boat safari.  The boat safari will be in kayaks and rubber rafts in Gondmohadi lake. The authorities are also planning to include water rafting activity in the lake for the tourist. Guides of the sport will have to undergo rescue training from the National Institute of Water Sports. The 10Km nature trek from Madnapur to Gondmohadi is also on the papers. The idea is to promote ecotourism

The feline family of animals is huge and  Tigers  are one of them. Tigers have their own class even though lions are considered the king of the jungle. Their huge physique, yellow striped body, and royal walk captures everyone around. However, tigers are one of the calmest and solitary animals. Although they are active during the daytime, they are also known to be nocturnal. They are good swimmers and love to stay in water for long hours. Tigers have several species and hybrids have been created over a period of time. Tiger is one of the largest felines among the cat family. Tiger cubs are born blind and they get their eyesight on the sixth or 14 th  day after birth. The average age expectancy of a tiger is around 25 years of age. Tigers also mate with other cats and hence hybrids are formed. They are surely one of the fastest runners as they run for around 60 km per hour to hunt their prey. The group of tigers is called ambush and they prefer to hunt in a group. Tiger does not have

  It is said that nature is your best teacher. It teaches us to give, collate and conserve. Nature has been blessing us with its abundant resources and environment. Jungles are one of the crucial elements of nature. They are our heritage which needs to be preserved for the future generations.  Right from plush green trees, small bushes, water bodies to small insects, beautiful birds, small and big animals, jungles have a lot to offer. They are one of the calm, scenic and untouched places away from city’s development and hectic life.

However, instead of just amusement, if we widen our arenas about the jungles, then we can get a new perspective on our forests.  Adventurists, birders, wildlife photographers  and even normal tourists have their own agendas. However, if we go to study, respect and understand nature there wh
