First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for meand there was no one left to speak for me.—Martin Niemöller

The story of turnaround of Panna Tiger Reserve

In 2009 it was found that Panna didn't have even a single tiger left. It was majorly due to poaching and also because of hunting by nearby Pardhi tribes which were known to consider hunting as a parameter of valour and prowess

IFS officer R Sreenivasa Murthy knew that efforts towards repopulating the tiger reserve would not yield result without local support. So, series of steps were taken

👉Murthy appealed for locals to take ownership of the revival process, and vouch to refrain from hurting any wildlife.

👉The non-profit organisation, Last Wilderness Foundation (LWF), was roped in to relocate the Pardhi tribes and make them surrender hunting
Pardhis were relocated to the nearby village of Gandhigram. They were trained to become forest guides, escorting tourists on nature trails in Panna.

👉The team also harnessed Pardhis’ in-depth knowledge about the forest and wildlife to promote tourism, as they started using their traditional skills to design traditional household items, decor weapons, seed carvings etc..

👉The NGO also started boarding schools for young Pardhi girls and boys, to integrate them into mainstream careers in future.

👉The Pardhis were also trained about how and where to mitigate human-tiger conflict, what steps they can take for protection without harming the tiger etc

🔥Today "The Panna Tiger Reserve has more than 80 tigers with motto 'Jan Samarthan se Bagh Sanrakshan' (tiger conservation with peoples support)


This anecdote can be used in topics around people participation, networking with NGOs, wildlife conservation, leadership, emotional intelligence among others.
