[indiantreepix:14033] Melagiri biodiversity survey - A call for volunteers
1st July 2009 Dear Friends, *Call for volunteers for Melagiri Biodiversity Survey* Kenneth Anderson Nature Society (www.kans.org.in) and Asian Nature Conservation foundation (www.asiannature.org ) are jointly conducting a biodiversity survey in the Melagiri region of Krishnagiri and Dharmapuri districts. Asian Nature Conservation Foundation, a professional research and conservation trust, is the lead agency for the survey and they have deputed a team consisting of 2 full time researcher officers, GIS expert and a field assistant all lead by Dr.Bhaskaran for a period of one year. Kenneth Anderson Nature Society is an NGO whose members are serious, non-professional naturalists and conservationists drawn from all walks of life. KANS was born in these very forests one year ago. * Background of the region:* The Melagiris are a range of hills on the Eastern Ghats, bound by the river Cauvery on the west. Forest covered hills and valleys are the predominant landscape, with the highest peak of Gutherayan rising up to 1390mtrs. The forests are largely dry deciduous with some stretches of shola forests on the slopes of Gutherayan peak. The total reserve forest area is around 1400 sq km, with representative presence of nearly all animals and birds expected to be found in a similar habitat. The ruling monarch of these jungles is however the Elephant. *Purpose of the Survey:* This is a hitherto unknown area is covered extensively in the stories of Kenneth Anderson. The objective of the survey is to take stock of the forests, which have been deteriorating over time. We hope to bring to public light the beauty and diversity of these forests and also highlight the socio-economic issues facing conservation in this region. A Sanctuary is being proposed in this area and we hope our inventory of the species and inputs on the human-forest interaction issues will lend weight to the proposal. *Survey particulars: *The Survey is broadly divided into the following categories: 1- Bird count for temporal and spatial distribution of bird species and populations (transects). 2 – Vegetation (transects). 3 – Reptiles 4 - Fishes 5 – Mammals (transects, camera traps). 6- Biotic pressures and effect of human activities on forests. (socio economic questionnaires) 7- Man animal (elephant) conflict. (questionnaires being done by a full time dedicated M.Phil student) 8- GIS mapping of the landscape with overlapped layers of vegetation maps, species distribution etc. *Call for Volunteers:* We request your help making this survey a success. We require volunteers to carry out transects and field surveys. None of the volunteer work is full time and can be carried out on weekends or holidays. Transects will be carried out by teams of two. Participation dates are flexible. This is an excellent opportunity to experience the little known jungles frequented by Kenneth Anderson and experience a unique area of the Eastern ghats. These are territorial forests and facilities are meagre to say the least. Accommodation wherever possible will be provided in places such as anti-poaching camps, forest guest house etc,. Otherwise please be prepared to sleep under stars like Kenneth Anderson did! Reasonable level of physical fitness is expected as the transects will involve walking over distances measuring 6 to 8 kilometers, over densely wooded hill slopes. A willingness to rough it out and enjoy the outdoors are an essential requirement! There are no other prerequisites. The survey is a voluntary unfunded project and no stipends or reimbursements will be paid for the volunteers. The survey work will begin in the month of July and continue for a year. Please do drop me a mail at sanjeevkuma...@gmail.com giving your interests to enable me to keep you informed about programs as they develop.

Dear Mr. Bhatt, You could ask your daughter to try calling 022 6739, which is the Dial-a-book number from crosswords book store, located in Mumbai. They also have home delivery, and should have the book available with them.

[indiantreepix:5976] RE: [delhibird] Pygmy Hog Centre, Assam
This is a truly commendable effort... kudos to the team at the pygmy hog centre. Does anyone know about the hispid hare, I remember reading somewhere that even this animal was under threat and its conservation efforts are on in India... Fantastic work with the pygmy hog and also the Indian one horned rhinocerous in Assam.

Today, they are only found in a small population in ManasTiger Reserve, Assam.With the assistance of the Forest Dept and financial/technical support fromGerald Durell Foundation, Darwin Initiative, ECO Systems India, etc., GoutamNarayan and his team have successfully bred Pygmy Hogs in captivity. Theconservation centre has several open enclosures, all inter-connected withnatural vegetation and soil rich in worms, beetles, roots, etc. We were ableto see these tiny adults and some of the young digging/burrowing with theirnoses, as well as 'nests' made of dried grasses. The enclosures are coveredon top with wire mesh and the bars have an electric current running throughthem to prevent ingress of leopards and birds of prey. In the centre of theenclosures are the breeding cells which are covered and accessed by fewhumans (gloves, feet pre-soaked in potassium permanganate). Visitors in thisarea are usually shunned, which is a good thing.Only very recently, the Pygmy Hog genus was reverted to Porcula from the Susgenus since DNA studies found it different in several aspects from wild boargenus.What is interesting to learn is that although these Pygmy Hogs are small ittakes 2 adults to hold them as they can wriggle out since their bodies arebullet-shaped bodies with almost no neck. They are very tough and in thewild they move extremely fast, the only thing that one can see is the top ofthe grasses moving indicating their presence. The trained keepers have avery tough time catching them in the small enclosures.We also saw a pre-release area behind Eco-Camp Tourist Lodges in NameriNational Park. This is a huge enclosure and adults are re-located here foracclimatisation prior releasing them in their original habitats.So do visit this Centre located outside Guwahati (on route to the airport)and get a first-hand idea of breeding programmes our own Indian researchersare doing. You would be surprised to know a lot of viable ideas sprang fromthis centre and are currently being implemented in other similar programmesin the world.If you plan a visit you may email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] world lost the Dodo forever. India shouldn't lose her Pygmy Hogs!Cheers,Kiran [EMAIL PROTECTED] portions of this message have been removed]__._,_.___ Messages in this topic (1) Reply (via web post) | Start a new topic Messages | Files | Photos OUR WEBSITE - http://www.delhibird.net/ MARKETPLACE From kitchen basics to easy recipes - join the Group from Kraft Foods Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!

[indiantreepix:5928] Re: Query on Alstonia scholaris (Devil's tree)
Dear Mr. Bhatt, Thank you so much for your email. As I had written before I have an alstonia scholaris right in front of my house, and I have seen birds on it often. Regarding roosting, I think on some evening I have heard activity of birds settling down in it. I have observed many birds species in the branches of this tree, sunbirds, oriental whiteeyes, red vented bulbuls, sparrows, collared doves and others... Now, I will observe carefully whether birds roost in it or not... an interesting project for me thanks to you. Warm regards, Sanjeev Saikia Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2008 20:05:49 +0530From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [indiantreepix:5879] Re: Query on Alstonia scholaris (Devil's tree)CC: indiantreepix@googlegroups.com I have also heard that this tree is not bird friendly and the birds do not like to roost, perch or nest on it. When I asked somebody who has a number of Alstonia trees at his workplace, he could not give a clear reply. I don't blame him. He is neither a tree lover not a birder. akbhatt On Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 4:43 PM, Sanjeev Saikia [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I have an Alstonia scholaris in front of my house. Out of curiosity I wanted to know if someone has any idea what the cultural roots of the Alstonia scholaris tree being called 'Devil's tree' is? It is also called a Yakshi tree etc. why so much association with the supernatural? Any information on this? I know it is also called the scholar's tree because its wood is used to make scholarly furniture like reading tables etc. Regards, Sanjeev Get 5 GB of storage with Windows Live Hotmail.
