Arannayk Foundation has undertaken a project titled “Monitoring Crime-prone Hotspots for Tiger and Deer Poaching in the Sundarbans through Camera Trapping”. This initiative is funded by the Bangladesh Forest Department under Sundarbans Tiger Conservation Project.
With the aims of generating evidence-based conservation actions, the project findings will strengthen wildlife conservation and law enforcement strategies in the Sundarbans. Using advanced camera-trapping technology, the survey is identifying and tracking activities in 27 pre-defined crime hotspots spread over four Forest Ranges of Sundarbans. The findings will guide improved patrol planning, enhance community participation, and promote the integration of technology in crime management.
The project contributes to efforts to combat wildlife poaching and ensure the long-term protection of tigers, deer, and other species inhabiting the world’s largest mangrove forest.
