It was a year of despair and a year that turned things around too. In the history of MadhyaPradesh’s Panna Tiger Reserve, 2009 will be remembered as the year the big cats wentmissing. A nation-wide estimate in 2006 — the first one to use the more scientificallyaccurate camera trap system of counting instead of the earlier total pug mark count method— had already revealed a dwindling tiger count in the forest.“Over the next few years, the number continued to drop, till alarmed by reports of no tigersightings, the National Tiger Conservation Authority and the state government decided toconduct a count only for Panna in 2009. It revealed what many had already feared — the tigercount in the forest had indeed dropped to zero,” says R Sreenivasa Murthy, field director,Panna. The authorities panicked and they decided to act.A special team was constituted to bring the big cats back to Panna and Murthy was one ofthose who joined. “Six tigers were brought here from other reserves within Madhya Pradeshas part of a reintroduction programme. In the following years, 32 cubs were born at Panna, ofwhich 26 survived. Poaching was stopped,” he says. Now, according to the 2014 count, thereserve has over 17 adult and sub-adult tigers.
