These tiger reintroductions were implemented as per the protocol issued by National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA), which is the supreme authority in India, as far as tiger management is concerned. In this protocol, NTCA has incorporated IUCN reintroduction specialist groups’ guidelines. In term of field execution, the chief Wildlife Warden is empowered to carry out such management interventions, but because India is signatory to IUCN, the guidelines laid down by IUCN are generally followed and in this specific context has been incorporated through NTCA protocols.
