strategy to manage human-tiger negative interactions has been advocated as follows:-<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Material and logistical support:<\/strong>\u00a0Funding support through the ongoing Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Project Tiger, is provided to tiger reserves for acquiring capacity in terms of infrastructure and material, to deal with tigers dispersing out of source areas.\u00a0 These are solicited by tiger reserves through an Annual Plan of Operation (APO) every year which stems out from an overarching Tiger Conservation Plan (TCP), mandated under Section 38 V of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972.\u00a0\u00a0<em>Inter alia,\u00a0<\/em>activities such as payment of ex-gratia and compensation, periodic awareness campaigns to sensitize, guide and advise the general populace on man-animal conflict, dissemination of information through various forms of media, procurement of immobilization equipment, drugs, training and capacity building of forest staff to deal with conflict events are generally solicited.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Restricting habitat interventions<\/strong>: Based on the carrying capacity of tigers in a tiger reserve, habitat interventions are restricted through an overarching TCP.\u00a0 In case tiger numbers are at carrying capacity levels, it is advised that habitat interventions should be limited so that there is no excessive spill over of wildlife including tigers thereby minimizing man-animal conflict.\u00a0 Further, in buffer areas around tiger reserves, habitat interventions are restricted such that they are sub-optimal vis-\u00e0-vis the core\/critical tiger habitat areas, judicious enough to facilitate dispersal to other rich habitat areas only.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Standard Operating Procedure (SOPs):<\/strong>\u00a0The National Tiger Conservation Authority has issued following three SOPs to deal with man-animal conflict which are available in public domain:\n<ol>\n<li>To deal with emergency arising due to straying of tigers in human dominated landscapes<\/li>\n<li>To deal with tiger depredation on livestock<\/li>\n<li>For active management towards rehabilitation of tigers from source areas at the landscape level.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The three Standard operating procedures (SOPs) <em>inter alia\u00a0<\/em>include<em>\u00a0<\/em>the issue of managing dispersing tigers, managing livestock kills so as to reduce conflict as well as relocating tigers from source areas to areas where density of tiger is low, so that conflict in rich source areas does not occur.<\/p>\n<p>In technical collaboration with the Wildlife Institute of India, the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) has also published a document titled \u2018<strong>Eco-Friendly measures to mitigate impacts of Linear infrastructure on wildlife\u2019<\/strong>\u00a0to safeguard these corridors from linear infrastructure development besides sensitizing user agencies which\u00a0<em>inter alia<\/em>\u00a0include Indian Railway Traffic Service Probationers, National Highways Authority of India personnel, Indian Railway Engineers, besides others.<\/p>\n<div class='epvc-post-count'><span class='epvc-eye'><\/span>  <span class=\"epvc-count\"> 7,193<\/span><span class='epvc-label'> Views<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a
