    • Wildlife Sanctuaries: Some activities like timber harvesting or private land rights may be permitted as long as they don’t harm wildlife.
    • Biosphere Reserves: Large areas of protected land for conserving biodiversity and traditional lifestyle of tribals (e.g., Nilgiri).

    Key Tiger Reserves & Statistics

    • M-STrIPES: A software-based monitoring system used for patrol and ecological monitoring in tiger reserves.
    • Largest Reserve: Nagarjunasagar-Srisailam Tiger Reserve in Andhra Pradesh.
    • Global Tiger Day: Celebrated on July 29th to raise awareness for tiger conservation.
    • T-2 Award: Given to reserves that have significantly doubled their tiger population.
