PREFACE
A three day workshop on “Ecological status of Anshi Dandeli Tiger Reserve” for capacity building of the forest department staff and young researchers was organized at Kulgi Nature Camp from 13th to 15th February 2009. The aim of the workshop was to provide hands on training in ecological field techniques to forest department staff from Dandeli Anshi Tiger Reserve and researchers from Energy and Wetland Research Group, Center for Ecological Sciences, IISc, Bangalore.
The workshop included training in field sampling for i) quantifying and characterizing trees, herbs and grasses (through transect based quadrats), ii) birds (through time constrained sampling), iii) amphibians (through time constrained sampling). In addition to these, techniques for physico-chemical characterization of water and usage of Geographical Position systems were demonstrated near Kulgi Nature Camp.
This report includes the protocol with data format for sampling vegetation, birds, amphibians, diatoms (Unicellular algae) and fishes from the freshwaters and also water quality analysis. Checklist of amphibians, birds and vegetation sampled during the workshop is also provided.
Mr. Vijay Mohan Raj (Deputy Conservator of Forest, Sirsi Division) and Mr. Manoj Kumar (Deputy Conservator of forest, Dandeli Anshi Tiger Reserve) highlighted the possible research opportunities for the better management of Dandeli Anshi Tiger Reserve.
