The team concluded that illegal fishing methods like blasting, change in river condition (the river had become more shallow), illegal sand mining practices and mugger-gharial conflict were the primary reasons for the low survival rate. The solutions were devised accordingly.
Experts say increased tourism activity in the core region of the reserve is still a threat and things will not improve unless appropriate measures are taken. Activist Biswajit Mohanty from the Wildlife Society of Odisha, a leading NGO in the state, points out the construction of a resort in the core area to promote eco-tourism will only hamper the conservation efforts.
Fishing activities in upper and lower streams, as well as mugger depredation posed a challenge for us in gharial conservation. So, we increased patrolling and started awareness campaigns with local communities. If a gharial would get stuck in a net, we asked the fishermen to release it and provided compensation to them for the fishing net in exchange. Due to reduced anthropogenic pressure and strict surveillance by staff, the area of Satkosia gorge became feasible for breeding.
Proper awareness between the village people as well as the farmers has to be made to save the endangered species from going into extinction.
