Summary

- Canines will assist forest staff in tracking suspects and detecting crime.
- The dogs completed a year of intensive training by December 1.
Karnataka's tiger reserves have significantly enhanced their capacity to combat wildlife crime with the integration of ten specially trained dogs. These canines have completed an intensive year-long training regimen, concluding on December 1, marking a new era in conservation efforts. They are now ready for deployment across five key tiger reserves.
Each of the five reserves will receive two dogs, who will work alongside field staff. Their advanced training enables them to detect potential threats and track down individuals involved in poaching and illegal wildlife trade. This initiative aims to strengthen vigilance in sensitive forest landscapes.
The canine squads, alongside their handlers, have graduated from a comprehensive program designed to make them reliable partners in the field. This innovative strategy underscores the Karnataka government's commitment to employing effective methods for protecting the state's rich natural heritage and wildlife populations.
