1 M- STrIPES Monitoring System for Tigers Intensive Protection & Ecological Status Field Protocols & Customized Software for Analysis, Mapping & Inference National Tiger Conservation Authority Wildlife Institute of India Zoological Society of London World Wide Fund for Nature - India
2 Aims Assist in Effective Patrolling & Protection Evaluate Status & Trends of Carnivores & Ungulates at Regular Intervals Monitor Habitat Change Evaluate Human Pressures Generate Reports to Provide Quantitative Information for Management Effectiveness Assessment and Decision Making
3 System Features Provide user friendly Field Protocols (inc training and material, data quality control), Data Storage and Report Generating Tool Administered and maintained at protected areas, landscapes, States and NTCA Captures detailed d information on population status t and trends, animal mortality, illegal activity, human pressures, patrol effort, habitat status for monitoring and guiding management Provides a comprehensive GIS and statistical tool for processing and reporting information needed for conservation and management purposes
4 M-STrIPES Field Protocols Protection Ecological Software Data Entry, Storage, Retrieval Analytical Engine Statistical, Spatial, Trends, etc. Output Reports, Maps Adaptive Management Informed Decision Making
5 Field Protocols & Equipment Patrol Data collection Routine / Anti-poaching / Investigation Patrol GPS Units (or PDA s) and Data Collection Forms Training i of Tiger Reserve Staff in Data Collection and Software Entry

8 Road Sampling Area Drainage Road & Drainage network in a Beat, Satpura Tiger Reserve
9 Tiger / Carnivore Sign Survey Intensive search for tiger / carnivore sign 3-5 searches each of f48k 4-8 km Minimum 15 km search in most likely areas in each Beat Record distance covered and time spent tin each search
10 Ungulate Encounter Rates Establish line transect 2-4km(or seg. >2 km) in each beat. Walk early morning. Count no. of each species, group size, young of the year.
11 Matkuli Vegetation of Matkuli Range, Satpura Tiger Satpura Vegetation Map with Beat BoundaryReserve Transects Occuring in Beats, Satpura Tiger Reserve
12 Human Disturbance Survey Along every 400m on established transect List signs of wood cutting, lopping, grass cutting, human trails within 15m radius
13 Ungulate Pellet Counts At every 400m plot along the line transect sample a 2 by 20 m strip. Classify and count ungulate pellets to species (wild & domestic)
