Project Tiger Known as the ‘The Jewel of Vidharba‘ Tadoba Tiger Reserve is Maharashtra’s oldest and largest National Park. It was declared a Project Tiger Reserve in 1993. Tadoba is bursting with life and wild animals such as tiger, leopard, sloth bear, hyenas, jackal, wild dog, blue bull (nilgai) and sambar deer inhabit the reserve. The park features thick teak forests and a beautiful lake. Some of India’s premier wildlife research Institutes are actively engaged in research at Tadoba. Their ongoing research involves studying tiger and leopard habitats and diet needs.

Participants will interact with scientist and forest officials and visit the tiger reserve. They will spend time within the reserve to study the forest ecosystem, learn about prey-predator relationship in the reserve and understand the role of scientific research in management of the tiger reserve.
