The various tiger reserves were created in the country based on the 'core-buffer' strategy:
Core area: the core areas are free of all human activities. It has the legal status of a national park or wildlife sanctuary. It is kept free of biotic disturbances and forestry operations like collection of minor forest produce, grazing, and other human disturbances are not allowed within.
Buffer areas: the buffer areas are subjected to 'conservation-oriented land use'. They comprise forest and non-forest land. It is a multi-purpose use area with twin objectives of providing habitat supplement to spillover population of wild animals from core conservation unit and to provide site specific co-developmental inputs to surrounding villages for relieving their impact on core area.
The important thrust areas for the Plan period are:
Stepped up protection/networking surveillance.
Voluntary relocation of people from core/critical tiger habitat to provide inviolate space for tiger.
Use of information technology in wildlife crime prevention.
Addressing human wildlife conflicts.
Capacity building of frontier personnel.
Developing a national repository of camera trap tiger photographs with IDs.
Strengthening the regional offices of the NTCA.
Declaring and consolidating new tiger reserves.
Foresting awareness for eliciting new tiger reserves.
