Abstract

Wild tigers experience unparalleled coercion due to habitat destruction, prey reduction and commercial poaching. The Indian tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) one of the world's most endangered carnivore species, and is now thought to be in the verge of extinction in the wild. Sariska National Park in India is considered to be a highly suitable habitat for the tigers. Relocation and change in habitat of these living giant creatures is a thought of study for their survival and existence in the coming future considering change in climatic conditions. But the main problem for the tigers in the new habitat will be poaching and the human-wildlife conflicts. Integrated geospatial techniques provide accurate, cost-effective as well as time-effective method for habitat evaluation. The aim of the study is current status followed by opportunities and challenges. The results point out a large and comprehensive research on each of these issues, in particular on the community involvement in wildlife management and government policies.
