Elephants losing their lives to high power electric fencing, rail crossing,  and poaching are becoming common these days in Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. Last month there was a different case. An elephant died after consuming fertilisers kept in an unguarded godown at Valparai.

There is another danger on the line. Mettupalayam -Coonoor - Ooty highway is posing a grave threat to the life of an adult female and a young elephant. Couple of months ago, while we travelled in this road, we saw a female elephant standing inside the gate of a private restaurant above Burliyar bus stop.

Last month the same elephant raided a way side vendor’s shop. This fly by night vendor was selling Jack fruits in the Elephant Corridor. Now every other day the same elephant comes and raids this shop, that too in broad day light. It has almost become addicted to the Jack fruit. Last week it blocked the Ooty highway for over an hour and enjoyed the sweet fruit in the broad day light.

On Sunday (June 28) while we were travelling dowm from Ooty, we saw the same elephant struck inside a pool of vehicles. While it had come down to eat the fruits, few big vehicles had blocked its way and and traffic jam occurred. 3 sides of the road was covered with vehicles and the other side had a small parapet wall.

People didn’t realise how the elephant can move out. Three sides were covered with big lorries and buses. The other side was a deep valley. The Elephant was literally caged. It couldn’t even turn. Like a circus animal it kept standing on four legs closed together on the 2 feet wide parapet wall. Vehicles kept honking,  threatening the elephant to go down. But the elephant was not ready to commit  suicide by jumping down. It was urinating. Still people didn’t realize its plight and pain.

When we informed the matter to the Cops guarding the road below, they told that it was a regular affair. Luckily for everyone -the elephant found a gap between two cars and climbed up the hill after an hour.

But who knows who will give way tomorrow?

Imagine what will happen if the elephant turns WILD.

Very soon we can see the news of the elephant rolling down or a car crushed by this pachyderm.

Problems/Suggestions

This Burliyar is in the border of Coimbatore and Nilgiris. Hence both the District officials need to co ordinate and work out a plan to solve this issue.

Government advises poor farmers to avoid cultivation of crops in the periphery of forest. But why do they allow un authorized street vendors to sell Jack fruits in an Elephant Corridor?

NBR based environmentalists are already screaming that the elephant corridor at Kallar is disturbed by Recreation and Educational industries. Hence the elephants are struggling to cross the road. Now a new trap is set in the form of encroachment shops.

Private commercial institutions have safeguarded their properties with deeper trenches and powerful fences. But the government horticultural farm at Kallar is getting damaged by the elephants which are forced for a  de tour.

It is high time the authorities and Non Governemental Organisations  react to the issue.

Otherwise  we will see some one losing the battle badly and none winning it.

Tiger sighting  at Nilgiris Biosphere Reserve

After 65 Pilgrimages in 30 months, at last I found the Lord.

Yes, treks are my pilgrimages , and in the last trek to Muthanga, Bandipur and Nilgiris, I found the Lord of Indian Jungles, the Panthers tigris, Bengal Tiger.

Dates: 26 -28 June, 2009.

Participants: Siva, Mohan, Thambu, Vijay Mohan and Ravi and me. Ayyappan - A smart Watcher at Muthanga is worth mentioning for his silent maneuvering of the trek.

Interesting personalities: Mr.Sasikumar, Range Officer, Mr.Radhakrishnan Lal, Range Ofiicer, Muthanga, Sudesan Kuttappan N.B, an Ornithologist at Masinagudi.

The event: It was a cool day’s evening. We were inside a dry shrub jungle.  After a short drive we were returning to the main road. Sivakumar who was driving the vehicle spotted pug marks on the dry sand. We stepped down and examined.

Looked like a tiger!

We made a guess - The pug marks were found over our vehicle’s tyre marks. It meant, tiger has crossed after we got inside the jungle.  Since we crossed that place just 10 minutes back, we were sure Tiger might be in the nearby area.

Sivakumar drived the vehicle slowly. At the left, Vijay Mohan saw something shining behind a Lantana Camara bush. Sivakumar too noted and confirmed it. Soon we switched off the vehicle. Most of us were viewing the young tiger through our lenses.

It was slim, yet majestic with Yellow -black - white patches. It watched us from  around 15 metres. We decided to watch it from the vehicle itself and remained silent.

15 seconds, 30, and it crossed 60 seconds…. It just remained unmoved behind the bush. Since we maintained full silence, it just kept staring at us. We expected it to come out of the bush. But softly it turned back and went inside using its silky paws and slender body. Still we were too happy. For 3 of us, including me were seeing it for the first time in the wild and one person is seeing it after 20 years.

Though we couldn’t catch it in full body, the camoflagued appearance  looked even dramatic. We kept watching it again and again in our LCD panels, till our batteries got drained completely.

Okay, now we got the darshan of the lord. Is the pilgrimage over? I don’t think so. Two of them wished to buy a better SLR Camera. Our journey continues…

Other sightings: Atleast 5 herds of Elephants (2 dozens in all), White Rumped Vultures, 2 Wild dogs, 3 Gaurs, over 800 Spotted deers in dozens of herds, 2 dozens of Sambar deers at one place in Nallurvayal, Muthanga.

Places visited: Nallurvayal, Tri junction in Muthanga and Parts of Bandipur, Mudumalai Tiger Reserve and Nilgiris North.

Route: Coimbatore - Coonoor - Ooty - Kalhatty - Masinagudi - Mudumalai - Bandipur - Gundalpet - Wayanad and return in the same route. 530 kms in vehicle. 

 More about tigers and need to conserve them:

The tiger  is a member of the Felidae family; the largest of the four “big cats” in the genus Panthera. Native to much of eastern and southern Asia, the tiger is an apex predator and an obligate carnivore. Reaching up to 4 metres (13 ft) in total length and weighing up to 300 kilograms (660 pounds), it is a majestic structure to watch.

Aside from their great bulk and power, their most recognizable feature is the pattern of dark vertical stripes that overlays near-white to reddish-orange fur, with lighter underparts.

Poaching for fur, bones, teeth, claws and destruction of habitat have greatly reduced tiger populations in the wild. At the start of the 20th century, it is estimated there were over 100,000 tigers in the world but the population has dwindled to about 2,000 in the wild. Some estimates suggest the population is even lower, with some at less than 2,500 mature breeding individuals, with no sub population containing more than 250 mature breeding individuals.

The threat of extinction is mitigated somewhat by the presence of some 20,000 tigers currently in captivity, although parts of the captive population, such as the 4000-5,000 animals in China’s commercial tiger farms, are of low genetic diversity.

India harbors the largest population of wild tigers in the world, along with one of the highest human populations. A major concerted conservation effort known as Project Tiger has been underway since 1973, spearheaded by the then Prime Minister Mrs.Indira Gandhi. The fundamental accomplishment has been the establishment of over 25 well-monitored tiger reserves in reclaimed land where human development is categorically forbidden. The program has been credited with tripling the number of wild Bengal tigers from roughly 1,200 in 1973 to over 3,500 in the 1990s, though the reports of the Indian government are occasionally met with some skepticism.

A recently passed tribal Bill, which allows tribal populations to reside inside designated tiger sanctuaries, may have impacts on the continuing success of the program.

A tiger census carried out over 2007, whose report was published on February 12, 2008 stated that the wild tiger population in India has come down to approximately 1,411. It is noted in the report that the decrease of tiger population can be attributed directly to poaching.

Around 80 tigers in Tamil Nadu and 200 in South India are struggling for their existence. Let us continue our pilgrimage to save them. Let us support SAVE TIGER campaigns to save the forest and the Planet.

This Chinnar is a part of Anamalai Tiger Reserve of Tamil Nadu in Udumalpet Range. Adjoining this forest is the bigger Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary of Kerala. The Chinnar stream bifurcates both the states. But vegetation remains almost the same.

 Route: It is 99 kms from Coimbatore. 29 Kms from Udumalpet. It is in the Udumalpet - Maraiyur - Munnar route. Good, but single road with just 2 hairpin bends.

Trek: Chinnar to Koottar (TN region). Through the riverine forest. After Koottar there are muggers in the river which makes crosssing the river a risky affair. From Chinnar to Koottar, the distance is only 2 kms, but excellent sightings are assured. Route outside the river canophy is too humid with lots of Snakes and Calotes movements. It looks like a thorny Shrub Jungle.

Dates: 20 & 21 June, 2009.

Team: With Sivakumar, Ganesh Raja (SANF) and Anti Poaching Watchers of Amaravathy Range, Mariappan and Durai.

Sightings: Herds of Coromandel Grey Langur,

http://www.crjayaprakash.com/photography/main.php/Animals/Coromandel_Grey_Langur.html

Sambar Deer (Pair). Droppings of Wild dogs were abundant.

Kerala side of Chinnar is well maintained with rooms and trek arrangements. Great tea for Rs.6 is available in the information centre. Especially after a dry trek in the humid forest, this small but clean restaurant looks and tastes delightful.

Trek charges are around Rs.150 per person and Jungle room stays are above  Rs.1,000 pere person in Kerala side.

In Tamil Nadu side, Tourism is not encouraged, hence stay can be made only with the permission of higher officials of Anamalai Tiger Reserve.

Our stay: Comfortable at Amaravathy Forest Rest house, which is nearer to the Amaravathy Sainik School and Crocodile farm.

Places of Interest:

Amaravathy Dam now looks like a cricket stadim with minimal water. In the evenings, elephant herds come to qunech their thirst. Fresh fish from the dam can be bought here from ( 9 AM to 11 AM).

Crocodile park has big muggers with small tanks. Grizzled Giant Squirrel is also found here in pairs. Must see place for wildlife lovers.

One need’nt go all the way to Srivilliputhur Sanctuary to see these rare squirrels.

Mangoes at Rs.10 a KG: At the Loneya Farms, next to 9/6 Forest Chesk post in the Munnar Road a Kg of Mango (Rumania) is being sold for Rs.10.  Fresh Mangoes at cheaper rate- It is a double bonanza.

Good season to visit: November to January when the temperatures are low.

Vegetation: Thorny Shrub jungle, Grass lands, Dry Decidious.

Route: 140 kms from Coimbatore. 40 Kms from  Hasanur, where a new interpretation centre for Sathy Sanctuary is getting ready.Good road link from Dhimbam to Thalamalai and then to Mudhianur. From Mudhianur, rough road but wildlife rich path of 12 kms to Jeerahalli. If you want to travel safe, drive through Thalavadi, which is 30 kms lengthier.

Dates: 12, 13, 14, June, 2009.

Stay: Comfortable at Jeerahalli Forest Rest house. Two suits available. Preference for Researchers and Forest Officials.

http://www.crjayaprakash.com/photography/main.php/ARCHITECTURE/Jeerahalli_Rest_house.html

Places Trekked: Kunnanpuram, Gethavady, Belathur, Mangalapatty and Algoundenkuttai.

Interesting trek: Trek from Belathur to Mangalapatti. It is a steep downhill trek. 12 kms trek will take you to Moyar river near the STF camp of TamilNadu Police Department. Otters and Muggers can be sighted easily in this river. Moyar flows into Bhavani Sagar dam, which is present in the same Erode District.

It was easy to reach Moyar in the morning. But climbing back was too heavy, that too with the sun on top of the trekkers - it is a challenging task. Each person needs 2 litres of water to climb back.

Landscape view of Kodanad:

http://www.crjayaprakash.com/photography/main.php/LANDSCAPE/Kodanad_View.html

Sightings: Two herds of Gaurs (12 + 8), One herd of Feral buffaloes (6), One herd of Sambar deers (15), 3 -4 small herds of Spotted deers, Mugger (Fresh water Crocodile), Common Grey Mongoose, Barking Deer, A dozen of Grey Hornbills at 4 places, Spotted owls, Little Cormorant, Changable Hawk Eagle, Laughing Thrush, Blue Winged Parakeets, Spotted Doves.

IRS, NRS and ABC confusing the analysts

IRS Special: In search of the perfect measurement - Presented by MINT
Dhaleta Surender Kumar | afaqs! | New Delhi, June 04, 2009
 ¨
For two years now, buying media had been quite easy for planners with just one media readership currency, the IRS (set up by the Media Research Users Council - MRUC - in 1995), to go by. But in 2010, there is bound to be some confusion when the National Readership Survey (NRS) makes a comeback after disappearing from the scene for two years.

The NRS is released by the National Readership Studies Council (NRSC) - a body constituted by Advertising Agencies Association of India (AAAI), Indian Society of Advertisers (ISA) and the Indian Newspaper Society (INS). But there was a certain advantage in having two surveys. Publishers sold figures to advertisers from the report that suited them best - especially since the NRS and IRS findings were invariably different.

Points of view

If that isn’t confusing enough, here is another yardstick planners could refer to. The Audit Bureau of Circulation (ABC) releases actual circulation figures of publications that have agreed to be audited by the Bureau. There are some who think the ABC figures are tangible, unlike the readership surveys, which delve into intangibles like the quality of the readers. Others feel that readership surveys help advertisers make a better, qualitative choice.

The 61-year-old ABC ruled the roost till 1995 as there was just one currency that dictated where the advertising money went. The NRS did exist from 1956 till 1970, but it wasn’t considered too seriously mainly because it was erratic in its frequency. In 1970, the INS decided to pull out from the NRS. It was later revived in 1995, the year that saw the the birth of the IRS.

Readership surveys help advertisers measure the profile of the readers and break the figures down into socio-economic classifications (SEC), age, geography and reading habits. However, two reports only added to confusion as there was not only a huge difference in the figures thrown up by the readership surveys, there were inconsistencies within the same survey itself after each round. As a result, while publishers preferred the report that gave them high readership figures, media agencies conveniently used the one which threw up lower readership figures to bargain for the best deal. The battles were fought with relish.

Also, two surveys added extra burden on the revenues of the publishers, who pay in order to participate. Generally, a large publisher paid Rs 35-40 lakh for NRS, depending on the number of editions it has, and another Rs 20-25 lakh for IRS data. Similarly, a mid-sized media company had to shell out Rs 20-25 lakh for media data from both surveys.

While the IRS charges both the publishers and the media agencies for the media data, the NRS, funded by the publishers, gave media agencies free data. In the end, publishers started complaining vociferously that for the high expense they incurred, they ended up with two reports with identical formats, but which presented entirely different figures. So, what prompted the NRS to come back into the fray? Will it make any difference? And is the ABC relevant at all?

The new NRS promises to be a quarterly affair with an increased sample size of 4.5 lakh (in its previous avatar, the NRS came out twice a year with a sample size of two lakh).

Trekking at Avalanche

Team: OSAI members and Anna University students on a nature camp.

Stay: Comfortable forest rest house at Avalanche.

Dates: 29 -31, May, 2009.

Place: Avalanche is a core forest area in Nilgiris South Forest Division. It is around 25 kms from Manjur. This place is known for the tastiest Trout fish. Even now Trout  fish farm is operational at Avalanche.The old rest house constructed in 1852 is still in great shape. A new rest house with 2 suits and 15 bedded Dormitory is also available.

Treks: A trek from Lakadi top to Kolaribetta is excellent. Even though the distance is only 4 kms, its gradient makes it challenging for new comers. It takes 90 minutes to complete the trek.

From Kolaribetta, there is a nice route to Bangitapal rest house, which comes under Mukurthi National Park. All along the way Upper Bhavani dam can be seen from the top. Rhododendrons are common.

Places trekked: Lakkadi top - Kolaribetta - Avalada Swamp - Valve house - Devar Betta, Kodi kaadu betta.

Great experience: Taking bath at the chilled Avalanche falls, which is very near to the rest house. A walk in the Orchid Garden is highly informative.

Sightings: Eurasian Black Bird, Vanni Nilgiriensis (Endemic Crab), Mating Snails were new. Sambar deers were in abundance. Tiger pug mark identified. Gaur, Wild dogs are common. Even elephants are found in this high altitude (2500 MSL). Green Vine Snakes (Non Venomous) abundant in these high altitude grasslands.

Sweet memories: Great food served by Everest Kumar. Served us hot food after we completed the downhill from Kolaribetta amidst down pour.

Students of Anna University (All 11 were first years) were too polite and composed.  They deserve their placement at the State’s prestigeous Educational Institution.
