Monitoring of Wildlife Sanctuaries and National Parks Program
The
Monitoring of Wildlife Sanctuaries and National
Parks Program
which was also launched in 1997 has been another major success
story for Wild Orissa. Many remote forest areas and sanctuaries in
the state of Orissa have been visited, surveyed, and necessary
monitoring reports regularly filed with the forest authorities.
These have included Kondakamberu, Gupteswar, Kapilas, Kuldiha,
Hadagarh, Satkosia-Thakurmunda (Mayurbhanj), Athamallik,
Kamakhyanagar, Baliguda, Belghar, Karlapat, Ushakothi, Badarama,
Debrigarh, Bhittarkanika, Phulbani, Dhamma, Damanjodi and many
more. Wide media and press coverage have been given on problem
areas in these areas from time to time.
Sanctuary Asia
has also assisted in this by way featuring campaigns on Debrigarh
and Sunabeda in the recent past on the request of Wild Orissa.
These efforts of Wild Orissa have enabled it to occupy a position
of a watchdog for the wilderness areas of the state.
