Paper Title:
ASSESSMENT OF RISK FACTORS FOR HUMAN-SLOTH BEAR ENCOUNTER AND IMPACTS OF BIOTIC PRESSURES ON HABITAT USE PATTERN OF SLOTH BEAR IN DARRAH WILDLIFE SANCTUARY KOTA, RAJASTHAN
The study was carried out in Darrah Wildlife Sanctuary from 2009-2012. Darrah Wildlife Sanctuary (DWLS) lies in the Hadoti region of Kota district in Rajasthan and lies between 24º37' to 25º2' N Latitude and 75º39' to 76º12' E Longitude. Darrah Wildlife Sanctuary comprises of 250 sq km, the area is divided into two ranges, Kolipura range and Darrah range. The climate of the sanctuary is subtropical, characterized by long and intense hot summer, with low rainfall and short but acute winter. The landscape is mostly patchy, fragmented, degraded and interspersed with crop fields and 19 human habitations the available habitat of Sloth bear(Melursus ursinus) was mixed forest (53%), scrub land (15.1%), open land (15.1%) land near water (11.3%) and whereas crop represented nil available habitat type .One conflict was a defensive response of the female bear along with its cubs. The study indicates that anthropogenic pressures are very high; the disposal of plastic is causing environmental damage to the park and altering feeding habits of sloth bears. If appropriate measures to reduce human pressures are not initiated, the situation may result in serious health hazard for bears. This study calls for periodic monitoring and appropriate policy interventions.
