Drone Now Will be Protecting Tigers at Panna National Park Soon


Drone - Now Will be Protecting Tigers at Panna National Park Soon

Established in 1994, Panna National Park is one of the many tiger reserves in India. It is spread over an area of 542.67 sq km. The park is situated in Madhya Pradesh and is only 25 km from the world famous Khajuraho.

Ministry of Tourism bestowed it with the Award of Excellence in 2007 for being the best managed national park of India. But ironically, just in two years, the tiger population of the park was completely wiped out, allegedly, by poaching. Certain traditional Chinese medicines use the parts of tigers as ingredients. The skin of the tiger is also used to make fashionable clothes. All such despicable desires lead to illegal and incessant killings of the tigers.

Authorities have taken drastic measures to protect and rehabilitate the tigers. Around 20 of them inhabit the Panna National Park at this time. One such drastic step, which is soon going to take shape, is the decision to have a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) for surveillance.

The ministry of Defense has passed the proposal to deploy a drone (or UAV) to keep an active eye over the entire park. The implementation is expected to take place from March 2014.

The drones are controlled through an operator on the ground or through a computer by pre-programming the commands. Besides surveillance they are also used to throw bombs and missiles at the locations of the enemy.

Kaziranga National Park, which is located in Assam, was the first park of India in which a UAV was used in order to put a stop to poaching of the rhinos. More than half of the total population of one-horned rhinos is found in Kaziranga. The horn of the rhinos is believed to be carrying medicinal qualities. A huge demand comes from China and Southeast Asia, making this trade, a very lucrative one.

In recent times, the number of rhinos killed by poachers has increased alarmingly. To curb the menace of poaching, from April 2013, the wildlife authorities at Kaziranga started using a drone, fitted with a camera, to monitor the entire park. The monsoon season usually leads to flooding of many areas of the Kaziranga National Park. The drone will also come to an effective use in such circumstances.

The idea of using the drones for the conservation of wildlife has been brought by the WWF (World Wildlife Fund). This has been the result of rampant poaching of tigers, elephants and rhinos throughout the world, especially in Africa and Asia. In a couple of years many national parks would come under the watchful mechanical eye of the drones.

With enhanced security on the ground coupled with aerial monitoring it is hoped that the merciless slaughter of the animals would stop forever.
