Estimating tiger and its prey abundance in Bardia National Park, Nepal / KARKI, J.B. in BANKO JANAKARI - वनको जानकारी : A Journal of Forestry Information for Nepal, 26: 1 (2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inBANKO JANAKARI - वनको जानकारी : A Journal of Forestry Information for Nepal > 26: 1 (2016) . - 60-69 p Title : Estimating tiger and its prey abundance in Bardia National Park, Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: KARKI, J.B., Author ; Y. V. Jhala, Author ; B. Pandav, Author ; S. R. Gyawali, Author ; SHRESTHA, R., Author ; K. Thapa, Author ; THAPA, G., Author ; N. M. B. Pradhan, Author ; B. R. Lamichhane, Author ; S. M. Barber-Meyer, Author Publication Date: 2016 Article on page: 60-69 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Bardia, camera trap, density, line transect, tiger, wild prey Abstract: We estimated tiger and wild prey abundance in the Bardia National Park of Nepal. Tiger abundance was estimated from camera trap mark recapture in 85 days between December, 2008 to March, 2009 by placing 50 camera trap pairs in 197 trap locations with a sampling effort of 2,944 trap nights. We photo captured 16 individuals (≥1.5 year old) tigers identified on the basis of their unique stripe patterns. The number and density (per 100 km2) of tiger was 19 (SE 3.3) and 1.31 (SE 0.32), respectively. Distance sampling was used to assess the prey abundance on 170 systematically laid line transects between May–June, 2009. The density of all the wild prey (individuals/km2) was 56.3 (SE 6.5). The density (individuals /km2) of Chital was 29.3 (SE 4.3). The density of barking deer, wild pig and sambar were in higher to medium, medium and medium to low range as compared to other protected areas in South Asia respectively. The study indicated decline of tiger in Bardia National Park even though the existing level of the prey population appears to be adequate to support higher tiger numbers. There is hope of meeting the ambitious goal of doubling the tiger population by 2022 set by the Tiger Range Countries which was evident in 2014 with 50 tigers in Bardia National Park and Khata Corridor. The tiger habitats outside the protected areas should be managed with the local community- based initiatives to ensure the acceptance of low density tiger movement.

Status of blue sheep and Himalayan tahr in Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve, Nepal / KARKI, J.B. in BANKO JANAKARI - वनको जानकारी : A Journal of Forestry Information for Nepal, 21 : 1 (January - June 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inBANKO JANAKARI - वनको जानकारी : A Journal of Forestry Information for Nepal > 21 : 1 (January - June 2011) . - 25-30 p Title : Status of blue sheep and Himalayan tahr in Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve, Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: KARKI, J.B., Author ; THAPA, B.B., Author Publication Date: 2011 Article on page: 25-30 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Blue sheep  Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve  Himalayan tahr  hunting quota;population density Abstract: A survey of blue sheep (Pseudois nayaur) was conducted in six blocks of Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve (DHR), Nepal. A total of 852 blue sheep were recorded in 73 different groups. The average group size was found to be 11.7 individuals. The average population density of blue sheep in the reserve was found to be 1.28 animals per km2. There were 263 rams, 307 ewes, 89 yearlings and 39 lambs. Among the rams, 126 were classified as trophy rams, 92 as medium rams and 45 as young rams. The ratio of trophy rams to other rams was found to be higher than those found in the earlier studies. The mean sex ratio was 86 males per 100 females and the yearling to ewes ratio was 29 per 100 ewes. The survey of Himalayan tahr (Hemitragus jemlahicus) in Sundaha block recorded 53 individuals with 30 males, 14 females, eight yearlings, and one lamb. The results indicated that the existing quota of blue sheep hunting can be safely continued. In case of higher demands, two more quotas can be added to Barse, Dogadi and Sundaha blocks for the next five years (2008-2012). Himalayan tahrs can be hunted in all the blocks. Sundaha block can sustain four while the rest of the blocks can sustain two Himalayan tahrs per year.
