Leopards straying into in villages nestling along the forest fringes in the State, attacking people and their cattle have become a matter of serious concern.
The killing of a healthy female leopard that had strayed into the small hamlet of Angamoozhy in the Ranni forest division by an unruly mob on Tuesday was the latest in the series of human-leopard conflict in the State.
Three weeks ago, a five-year old boy was fatally dragged by a leopard from the company of his father and brother at Athirappally in Ernakulam district. The boy’s body was found, later, in the surrounding area and the leopard was not traced.
In another tragic incident, a four-year old boy was killed by a leopard on the Kerala-Tamil Nadu border in Idukki district a year ago.
Killing of a Tiger by the villagers was also reported from the Munnar Forest division when the animal attacked a woman worker a year ago.
As many as four leopards were fatally trapped by humans in Idukki in 2011, according to Mr M.N. Jayachandran, secretary of Society for Prevention of Cruelty Against Animals in Idukki.
Animal-lovers’ concern
Tuesday’s killing of a female leopard had evoked concern and criticism from animal-lovers across the State.
The ferocious animal that had killed two domesticated dogs in the village went into hiding in the bushes adjoining a rubber plantation closeby a school. The entire village, including the local panchayat president and a former District Panchayat member, thronged
the spot.
The animal that came out after a five-hour wait inside the bush was more or less overpowered by a man from Kollam, Kuttan alias Vettu Kuttan, who claimed to be an expert in trapping of leopards. However the leopard was suffocated to death when 50 to 100 enthusiastic
people swooped on the animal, thrusted their weight on it, plugging its mouth and nostrils, later, leaving the nearly 50 Forest department and Police personnel mere mute spectators of the tragic episode.
The violent mob even blocked the vehicle of the Divisional Forest Officer, R. Kamalahar, and other Forest personnel, when he had directed the Range Officer to register case in connection with the killing of the wild animal.
A local granite quarry group had even granted Rs 50,000 to Vettu Kuttan and another group from Ernakulam had announced cash worth Rs 1 lakh to him in recognition of his ‘valour’, later.
Mr M.S. Rajendran, former District Panchayat member, told The Hindu that incidents of leopards attacking cattle and people were on the rise in Angamoozhy, Seethathode and Chittar
villages. The local people were left with little option other than taking their own measures for protecting themselves from the wild animal attacks as the Forest department failed to ensure their safety, he said.
Dr Gopakumar, veterinary surgeon, said the leopard was a healthy one and the death was due to suffocation.

The Supreme Court on Mondaydirected the Centre to constitute a ‘special committee' forthwith for inter-linking of rivers for the benefit of the entire nation.
It said: “The NCAER report clearly opines that the interlinking of river projects will prove fruitful for the nation as a whole and would serve a greater purpose by allowing higher returns from the agricultural sector for the benefit of the entire economy.
This would also result in providing varied benefits like control of floods, providing water to [the] drought-prone States, providing water to a larger part of agricultural land and even power generation. Besides … benefits to the country, it will help the
countries like Nepal etc., uplifting India's international role. Importantly, they also point to a very important facet of interlinking of rivers, i.e., it may result in reduction of some diseases due to the supply of safe drinking water, and thus serve a
greater purpose for humanity.”

APPLICATION OF GENETIC TECHNIQUES IN WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT
The use of molecular genetic techniques in conservation biology and wildlife management has become increasingly important during the last decade.
This is mainly catalyzed by the development of the Polymerase chain Reaction (PCR) which requires only minute amounts of DNA for genetic analysis and the possible sources of DNA can be hair, scale ,feaces, feather, urine, buccal cells, egg shells and
even foot prints. Thus it is no longer necessary to obtain blood or tissue samples to study population genetics in animals.
Analyzing ad comparing , the genetic make up of plants and animals, not only improves assessments made using traditional methods, but also yields information otherwise inaccessible.
Even though molecular techniques are too labour intensive and expensive for regular use, they have been made more widely available in recent years due to retirements in laboratory techniques, improvements in computer power and lower equipment cost.
The major challenge for the developing nations to conduct genetic research is of economical one, while for under developed nations is the non availability of technology.
Techniques
Deoxy Ribo Nucleic acid(DNA) is the principal constitute of genes, and is found in the cells of living organisms including components of blood, skin , hair, nails etc.
DNA molecules are made up of a linear sequences of compounds called nucleotides, and form a long, continuous strand inside a structure called chromosome.
The unique sequence of the nucleotide in a chromosome determines the hereditary characteristics of an individual from its species, sex and to traits such as eye colour.
Each gene occupies a particular location on the DNA strand
making it possible to compare the same gene in a number of different samples.
Many genetic techniques involve a process in which short segments of a DNA strand are replicated to produce a sufficient quantity of material for analysis.
These segments can then be examined for differences in size between individuals or for differences in the actual nucleotide sequence of the segments.
In contrast, other techniques cut DNA into segments using enzymes and certain of these segments are radio actively tagged to create a visual pattern on x-ray film.
DNA finger printing is the most popularly known of these techniques.
The finger print of one individual can be compared with other fingerprints to determine if two or more samples originated from the same individuals or to identify close relatives such as parent and sibling.
Applications
Molecular genetics provides powerful tools for wildlife conservation and can similarly play an important role in wildlife management.
First an understanding of genetic population structure of a particular species may aid in the identification of management units and the development of management strategies.
The practical application would be the ability to determine the geographical sources of individuals during certain time periods or in certain locations.
It is a powerful tool in all demographic surveys as well as experiments .
Habitat fragmentation is a threat to survival of wildlife populations in human dominated landscapes.
Connectivity among populations is distinct fragments may play an important role in population dynamics and resistance.
New genetic techniques are used to assess the connectivity in spatially structured and population of threatened species
Cloning and Biodiversity conservation:
Nuclear transfer technology, popularly known as cloning , where new
“ true to type” individuals are created in the laboratory from the nuclear DNA of other individuals.
Reproductive cloning or the production of offspring by nuclear transfer is often regarded as having potential for conserving endangered species of wildlife.
Factor that govern the desirability, feasibility and practicality of cloning vary among different class of vertebrates, depend upon the peculiarities of the biological systems, the type of species under threat and even the chances
of obtaining suitable funding since the research is very expensive.
Cloning is one of the several ways of increasing the number of individuals within a population.
When populations of free living species are found to be in decline, conservation biology begins to seek methods of showing or reversing the threatening process, many such threats exists including habitat loss through human activity, hunting or over fishing,
effects of pollution on fertility and fecundity, predation by introduced species or indeed poor diet through loss of prey species.
In a few cases these threats can be allevated but this may require the development of nation and international policies that support the conservation goals.
Reproductive technologies may then provide support the conservation goals.
Reproductive technlogies may the provide support usually by assisting genetic management.
An important common aim of conservation breeding programmes with or without the use of assisted reproduction, is the avoidance of inbreeding depression.
Nuclear Transfer Technology can play a significant role in the conservation of species, which are on the edge of extinction.
Now captive breeding techniques are adopted for saving such species . For example the population of Mauritius Kestrel declined to about nine individuals in the early 1970’s , four were reintroduced to the island of Mauritius later, and the population
is now estimated as 700-800. In such cases we can seek the help of nuclear transfer technology.
However the population of the species facing extinction is very less and they possess minimal genetic variation.
it is therefore desirable to avoid further loss of diversity.
A subsequent generation resulting from natural breeding or artificial insemination would contain some, but no all of genetic variability of its parents.
Loss would occur if any of the individuals failed to breed, which is a strong possibility with small populations.
If cloning is guaranteed to be 100% successful, a good strategy might be to clone every individual, then allow the off spring to mature and breed naturally.
The probability of losing genetic diversity would then
be reduced especially if each parent gives rise to more than two identical copies of itself.
Thus an interesting and novel theoretical principle in animal conservation emerges; where individuals are effectively induced to reproduce asexually something similar to some plants there by improving the long term fitness of the species through the
retention of genetic diversity.
Concept of Environmental Genomics
Environmental genomics bridges the gap between genetics, physiology and ecology.
It involves utilization of abroad range of modern molecular techniques such as gene arrays and single nucleotide polymorphins (SNP) screen to monitor variation in gene structure and expression.
It can pinpoint potentially novel interactions between environmental stresses and expression of specific human, animal and plant genes.
Environmental genomics is the application of the knowledge gained on gene identification, structure and expression to environmental protection and management.
It can demonstrate deleterious effects at molecular level before organisms level effects are shown.
Importance of Environmental Genomics.:
Genomics build upon and enhance traditional approaches to environmental toxicology determination.
It is a key objective for environmental science for improved understanding, identification and prevention of
environmental problems. It can provide the next generation tools to help protect and manage the environment.
It would be very critical in examining biotechnology’s potential impact on the environment.
Biotechnology and Tree improvement:
Tree improvement and forest biotechnology offer related scientific means to increase forest productivity , achieve sustained timber yields and perhaps enhance forest biodiversity and conservation of multiple values.
Tree improvement provides classical approaches to achieve better timber production.
It has achieved sustainable gain through generation of tree selection and breeding .
Tree important seeks to identify and improves several important tree attributes including growth rates, disease and pest resistance, adaptability to climatic changes, tree form and wood fiber quality, straightness and taper
Conclusion
The practical application of bio techniques has many difficulties.
Current success rates with nuclear transfer in mammals are very low.
More over 20 to 1000 nuclear transfers would need to be performed to achieve one viable off spring.
There are so many issues like legal, moral and technical in conducting genetic researches.
Sophisticated labs doing genetic research are less in number and the coordination is also less.
But the potential of genetic techniques in wildlife conservation and management shall not be ignored.
They can help many species to keep their foot prints on this green earth.

Neora
Valley National Park
Neora valley national park is one of the last remaining pristine ecosystems of the eastern Himalayas with its amazing bio-diversity and home to many
endangered plants, animals and birds. The area comprises the catchments and watershed of Neora Riverand its tributaries. The land of cute Red panda in its pristine undisturbed natural habitat with its rugged inaccessible hilly terrain together makes the park
an important wilderness zone. The significance of the park lies in the fact that it provides shelter to many species included in the Red Data book of IUCN and the appendices of CITES. The park harbors more than
31 species of mammals like Red Panda, Clouded Leopard, Mithun, Ghoral, Wild Dog, Leopard, Himalayan BlackBear, Himalayan Thar, Leopard Cat and the Royal Bengal Tiger.
The dense nature of theforest bars the easy sighting of animals
Trekking
•For all the nature lovers and explorers this place may be a paradise with its both the features of social and wild life. For the people who may not be able to cover long distances with perseverance
for the wild obstacles can avail shorter routes through tribal villages and get the adventure of village trekking. Axiomatically for wild discoverers the place will be one of the best regions in India to unveil the virgin forest of Neora Valley National Park;the
pine clad winding roads, the dense bamboos, the colorful birds. The different routes for wild trek are: a) Samsing Fari – Mauchuki – Samsing Fari, b) SamsingFari – Bhotey Kharka (halt) – Samsing Fari. The different routes for village trek are: a) Samsing Fari

Among our several plans for the ecological
and economical development of the forest villages for their sustainable livelihood to encourage their role in saving the natural resources, Our organisation ( Samsing Chauthary) has now started promoting the cultivation of strawberry plant starting with two
forest villages of Kalimpong sub-division of north Bengal , Samsing and Mouray . For market research and demand analysis this year we have planned just to sow 8500 saplings of sweet charlie and Cameroza breed of strawberry, with the involvement of community
of the forest villages. The best part of environmental awareness is given by strictly following the natural and organic methods of farming without contaminating the virginity of the soil.
Among the several plans and initiatives taken by the Chauthary organisation under the scheme of sustainable livelihood project to supply, this is the one more efficient step. The
project aims to develop the livelihood of the forest villages which will promote their approach towards saving the environment by reducing their reliability on the natural resources.
 It
also acts as an environment awareness campaign for the villages as the cultivation strictly follows the natural and organic method of farming, with a pre -cautious step to ban the introduction of chemical fertilizers and save the virginity of the soil from
getting contaminated. The unique selling point (USP)of the product can be proclaimed as the naturally and organically grown strawberries.
The vision of the project in its own practical version will be to develop a huge market of organic strawberries in North Bengal with the ultimate utilization of the resources whatever
available with the forest villagers so they can come forward to save the environment atleast their own surroundings.
The planting though happened lately, started in the first week of December, the fruiting time is expected to start from the last week of January and will continue till the end of
March. A complete project report will be prepared to measure the yield per plan comparing both the villages who have slightly different climatic conditions . According to the report the sapling will be again distributed to all the interested forest villagers
and therefore the marketing part will be done by the organisation.
To order garden fresh organic strawberries please contact the undersigned:
