Two people from Gerwani, Bheriganga Municipality-5 of Surkhet, who went to cut grass in the middle area of Bardia National Park, were killed by a tiger attack on Sunday. A tiger entered Batule, Kalimati Rural Municipality-7 of Salyan early on Wednesday morning before the incident of attacking people in the forest connected to the park. The tiger killed two bulls of the local Tulsi Kumari Gharti and injured one. After leaving the park and entering the tiger settlement, the local residents have become alarmed. Residents of the central area have become alarmed as the tiger, which is mostly found in the southern part of the park, has started moving towards the north. Prem Bahadur Saru, Ward President of Veriganga Municipality-5, complained that the local residents were panicking after tigers started entering the settlement. "Although one tiger has been controlled by the park, there are many other tigers. People are afraid to go out of the settlement," he said. 48-year-old Ram Bahadur Chand and 67-year-old Kavi Oli of Veriganga Gerwani, who had gone to cut bamboo in the forest in the intermediate area, were killed by a tiger attack on Sunday. Three days after attacking people in the forest, the tiger reached Batule village of Kalikati Rural Municipality of Salyan, which is connected with Gerwani. The same tiger was captured on Wednesday by the park staff, Nepali Army for security, National Nature Conservation Fund staff, police and local residents. Batule and Gerwani belong to the village bordering the park (intermediate area). The local residents say that the risk of attack has increased as the tiger, which is mostly found in the southern part of the park, has recently moved towards the north. Keshav Chand, a resident of Gerwani, accused the park of neglecting tiger monitoring. He said, "The number of tigers in the park is high, the risk of coming to the village every time in search of human prey has increased, the park does not seem to increase surveillance to prevent tigers from entering the settlement." The local residents of the intermediate area have submitted a memorandum to the park office, the concerned local government, the administration office of Salyan and Surkhet districts to arrange the security of the wild animals leaving the park. According to the park office, the problem tiger seized from Salyan is 12 years old. The staff of the park says that since the old and physically disabled tiger cannot hunt in the forest, it searches for people and animals. Which is rescued by the park as a 'problematic tiger' and kept in Banke National Park. In the Bardia National Park, three tigers with similar problems have been kept in the rescue center. Bishnu Prasad Shrestha, the chief conservator of the park, said that after the attack on the local residents who went to cut grass, the vigilance of the tiger has been increased. "After the said incident, our special team was stationed around Gerwani and searching for tigers," he said, "Tigers that attack people tend to be in that area, because tigers stay in the area where they have been hunted. It was easy to find them after killing two animals in Salyan on Wednesday morning." The tiger was found resting in a bamboo grove about 200 meters from where the bull was killed. The tiger was taken into custody using a needle to make it sedated. The park office claimed to have increased surveillance in the upper reaches. "In addition to increasing patrols, we are conducting a behavioral change campaign to take precautions to be safe from wild animal attacks," Chief Conservation Officer Shrestha told Rasas. According to him, no matter where you are in the park area, intermediate area, community forest, wild animal attacks happen during the day time, so if you are alert, you can avoid the attack. The park office has made 13 strategic plans in the current fiscal year to reduce human-wildlife conflict. Chief Conservation Officer Shrestha said that the program will be conducted according to the plan and the damage will be minimized. READ ALSO:

१४ साउन, काठमाडौं । बाघको अस्तित्व जगेर्ना गर्नु मानव समुदायकै दायित्व भन्ने सन्देशका साथ आज बाघ दिवस मनाइँदै छ । तर बाघ संरक्षणसँगै नेपालमा बढेको मानवीय क्षति चुनौती बन्दै गएको छ । नेपालमा पछिल्ला वर्ष बाघको सङ्ख्या बढेसँगै बाघको आक्रमणबाट मानिसको ज्यान जाने घटना पनि बढिरहेका छन् । बाघ संरक्षण नेपालले उच्चतम सफलता हासिल गरे पनि द्वन्द्व भने समाधान हुन सकेको छैन । सन् २०११ मा रुसको सेन्ट पिटर्सवर्गमा भएको विश्व बाघ सम्मेलनमा नेपालका तर्फबाट तत्कालीन प्रधानमन्त्री माधवकुमार नेपालले सन् २०२२ सम्ममा बाघको सङ्ख्या दोब्बर पार्ने प्रतिबद्धता जनाएका थिए । सन् २००९ को बाघको गणना गर्दा नेपालमा १२१ वटा बाघ थिए । सन् २०२२ मा त्यो सङ्ख्या बढाएर २५० बनाउने लक्ष्यअनुसार काम भइरहेको छ । फलस्वरूप सन् २०१८ मा भएको गणनामा नेपालमा २३५ बाघ भेटिएका छन् । संरक्षणका कार्यक्रम प्रभावकारी रूपमा सञ्चालन भइरहँदा सन् २०२२ सम्ममा नेपालले अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय मञ्चमा गरेको प्रतिबद्धता पूरा हुने निश्चित भएको छ । यसरी एकातिर बाघको सङ्ख्या बढिरहँदा बाघ पाइने संरक्षित क्षेत्र वरिपरि बाघको आक्रमणबाट हरेक वर्ष स्थानीय बासिन्दा पीडित हुनेको सङ्ख्या पनि वृद्धि भइरहेको छ । गत वर्ष मात्र बर्दियामा राष्ट्रिय निकुञ्जकै एक जना कर्मचारीसहित १२ जनाको बाघको आक्रमणबाट मृत्यु भएको छ भने यही साउनमा फेरि बाघको आक्रमणमा परी एक जनाको ज्यान गएको छ । चितवनमा गत वर्ष पाँच जना व्यक्तिको बाघको आक्रमणमा परी ज्यान गयो । धमाधम बाघले मान्छे मार्न थालेपछि समस्याग्रस्त बाघ डार्ट गरी राखिएको छ । यस्ता बाघ चितवनका खोरमा दुईवटा र बर्दियामा दुईवटा रहेका छन् । जङ्गलमा छाड्दा पुनः ठूलो क्षति हुन सक्ने सम्भावना बढेपछि बर्दियाबाट एउटा र चितवनबाट दुईवटा बाघ जावलाखेलको सदर चिडियाखानामा ल्याइएका छन् । बर्दिया र चितवनमा भएको सबै घटनाको अध्ययन गर्दा मध्यवर्ती क्षेत्र तथा निकुञ्जको भित्री भागमा प्रवेश गरेका व्यक्तिमाथि बाघले आक्रमण गरेको छ । बर्दिया राष्ट्रिय निकुञ्जका प्रमुख संरक्षण अधिकृत विष्णुप्रसाद श्रेष्ठले भने, ‘बाघ मान्छे खोज्दै बस्तितिर आउने होइन । बाघको विचरण क्षेत्रमा बिनासजगता र असावधानीपूर्वक प्रवेश गर्दा बाघले आक्रमण गर्ने गरेको छ ।’ विश्व वन्यजन्तु कोषमा कार्यरत बाघ विज्ञ डा. कञ्चन थापा हरेक घटनाको विशेष अध्ययन गरेर व्यक्ति किन निकुञ्जभित्र वा जङ्गलभित्र पस्यो भन्ने कुराको पहिचान गरेर समाधानका लागि पहल लिनुपर्ने बताउँछन् । उनले भने, ‘त्यो क्षेत्रमा बाघ छ, बाघले आक्रमण गर्न सक्छ भन्ने थाहा हुँदाहुँदै पनि हातमुख जोर्नका लागि उसले काठ, दाउरा, सागपातका लागि प्रवेश गरेको हो वा सचेतनाको कमीले प्रवेश गरेको हो भन्ने कुराको यकिन गरेर मात्र समस्या समाधानका लागि कार्यक्रम लागू गर्नुपर्छ ।’ जुलोजिकल सोसाइटी अफ लन्डन नेपाल कार्यालयमा बाघ संरक्षण कार्यक्रमका प्रमुख डा. भगवानराज दाहालको भनाइ पनि बाघले आक्रमण गर्ने हिसाबले जोखिमपूर्ण क्षेत्रको पहिचान गरी त्यस क्षेत्रका बासिन्दाको जीविकोपार्जन, सचेतना कार्यक्रम सञ्चालन गर्नुपर्ने रहेको छ । डा. दाहालले भने, ‘बाघले आक्रमण गरेपछि मार्छ भन्ने थाहा भएर पनि किन जङ्गल पसेर माछा मार्न, निउरो टिप्न निकुञ्जभित्र प्रवेश गर्छन् ?’ पछिल्ला दिनमा बर्दियामा धेरै जसो बाघ समस्याग्रस्त बाघका रूपमा देखिएका छन् । सन् २०१८ को बाघ गणनालाई हेर्दा बाघ पाइने सबै निकुञ्जका ९८ प्रतिशत भूभागमा बाघ विचरण गरेको देखिएको छ । अब बाघको सङ्ख्या बढाउने हो भने बाघको बासस्थान निकुञ्जभन्दा बाहिर रहेको वन क्षेत्रलाई पनि विकसित गर्नुपर्ने धारणा बर्दिया राष्ट्रिय निकुञ्जका प्रमुख श्रेष्ठको छ । सरकारले बाघलगायत अरू वन्यजन्तुको आक्रमणमा परेर घाइते भएको तथा मृत्यु भएकालाई क्षतिपूर्ति रकम प्रदान गर्ने गरेको छ । बाघका विषयमा विद्यावारिधि गरेका डा. चिरञ्जीवी पोखरेलले भने, ‘बाघको आक्रमणबाट मृत्यु भएका घरपरिवारलाई केही सानो रकम दिएर मात्र पुग्दैन । पीडितका आश्रित परिवारलाई शिक्षा, सीप, रोजगारी तथा जीविकोपार्जनका लागि विशेष प्याकेज चाहिन्छ । त्यसका लागि दीर्घकालीन वित्तीय स्रोतको सुनिश्चित गरिनुपर्छ ।’
