Protecting Tigers and People

This report from The Corbett Foundation details a collaborative effort to reduce human-wildlife conflict within India's Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve. Funded with a $50,000 grant from Big Cat Rescue’s International Tiger Day campaign in 2025, the project implemented two primary safety strategies: the installation of 50 solar-powered street lights and the large-scale removal of invasive plant species. These lights provide essential nighttime visibility for remote villages and patrolling camps, while clearing dense vegetation like Lantana camara restores natural habitats and eliminates hiding spots for large predators. By improving the local ecosystem and community safety, the initiative supports the survival of tigers and elephants alongside human populations. Documentation including maps, photographic evidence, and official letters confirms the successful completion of these interventions across various ranges within the reserve. Overall, the sources highlight a sustainable, community-focused approach to biodiversity conservation in a critical tiger landscape. BIG CAT TV is a close look into the wild cat conservation efforts we support, and the exotic feline residents of Big Cat Rescue who we now support at Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge.
