Jaipur: The Sariska Tiger Reserve administration has proposed tagging all adult male tigers in the reserve with radio collars with the aim of tracking their movements in real time and allow timely intervention if they stray outside forest limits.The proposal has been submitted to senior forest officers, and the tagging will begin once formal approval is granted.Foresters said current tracking methods include manual patrolling, camera traps, identification of pugmarks, and reports from nearby villages.“These methods do not support real-time tracking. Radio collars with GPS devices will send signals at regular intervals, allowing forest staff to monitor a tiger’s location, changes in territory, and areas with potential for human-wildlife conflict,” an officer said.The average territory of male tigers in Sariska ranges between 30 and 250 sq km, covering forest areas like Tehla, Sadar, Akbarpur, Ajabgarh, and parts of the Jaipur forest division.Foresters said monsoon season makes collaring more difficult, as tigers move to higher, densely forested areas where it is harder to spot or tranquillise them. Despite these challenges, the department confirmed that collaring will begin as soon as conditions improve.
