The aim is to ensure the carcasses of cattle killed by carnivores are not poisoned, as this often leads to the death of wildlife including tigers, dhole and vultures
To discourage herders from poisoning cattle killed by carnivores in the buffer zone of the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve (MTR), conservation NGO, Arulagam with the help of Mariamma Foundation in Bandipur and the Tamil Nadu Forest Department is providing immediate monetary compensation to cattle owners.
Recently, seven herders in Vazhaithottam, Mavanallah, Anaikatti, Achakarai and Bokkapuram received compensation amounting to ₹5,000 per person for the cattle they lost to predators over the last month.
