Conserve Wildlife for a Better Ecosystem

The Mudumalai (Masinagudi) Wildlife Sanctuary attracts plenty of tourists from all over the World. Mudumalai means ancient hill and is located at the foothills of the famous Niligirs Hills in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. Mudumalai is famous for its Tiger Reserve, Elephant habitat and jungle safaris. There are plenty of resorts all around the 3,300 sq km jungle reserve.
Tourists who love the outdoors and wildlife photographers enjoy camping at this beautiful and magnificent wildlife sanctuary. Most resorts offer camping facilities and tents can be bought easily for a nominal price.

Here are some tips on how to build a tent and set up a campsite in the Mudumalai jungle –

  • It is recommended to camp in groups and do some research on the location before planning your camping venture.
  • Check the weather in advance. If it is rainy season, you might need a rain fly as well and check if this comes as part of the tent gear.
  • Check and compare prices of tents and buy a simple tent if you are beginner.
  • Once you have purchased the tent, find a clearing at your campsite that is ideal for setting up your tent. Ensure this is a comfortable spot and the ground is flat and leveled.
  • The tent gear ideally contains the tent, stakes, poles, ground tarp etc.
  • Start by laying out the ground tarp which is a big plastic sheet for the ground.
  • Lay the tent on top of this and assemble the two poles in such a way so as to make two long single poles.
  • Bend the poles to make a cross shape and place on top of the tent and attach the tent to the four corners of the poles.
  • Once this is secured in place, attach the center hook of the tent to the top of the poles.
  • Continue attaching the remainder of the tent hooks to the poles.
  • Now is a good time to include the rain fly, if you intend to use it. This is done by placing the rain fly over the tent with the dull side facing you and the shiny side facing the tent.
  • Now align the entrance zippers with the doors of the tent.
  • Secure each corner of the rain fly, if you are using it.
  • Insert the four stakes at each end of the tent and firmly dig it into the ground.
  • Fix the four stakes to each door of the rain fly and pull away from the tent. This ensures that water does not enter the tent.
  • Keep all your bags, gear and equipment that you are carrying with you in the tent.

Your basic tent is ready for you to enjoy your outdoor camping experience. Be safe and ensure you set up the tent and camp at a location that is recommended by the jungle resort staff or the locals of Masinagudi.

Frolic Boonies Announces 2014 Summer Camp Schedule

Wildlife includes all non domesticated animals living in their own habitat without human interference such as forests, plains, grasslands etc. Wildlife is important for any country:

  • For Ecological balance and food chain
  • It forms an asset to any country
  • It enhances the beauty of the Eco system and many plants have medicinal value which can be used to treat many diseases.

Hence it is very essential to conserve the wildlife of any country. India is country with abundant wildlife and unique species such as barking deer, Royal Bengal tiger, spotted deer and many elephants. In recent years, wildlife in India has been depleted due to deforestation, hunting for skin and flesh. Many wildlife conservation organizations in India have undertaken many measures to protect the Wild life of the country. The wildlife conservation organizations aim at

  • Implementing new methods for conserving wildlife
  • Working with the government to bring about tough laws against poaching and deforestation
  • Protecting forests and encouraging Afforestation
  • Setting up of National Parks and Wildlife sanctuaries to protect and preserve the wildlife of the country.

Top 3 wildlife Conservation organizations in India are:

  • WWF India: Started in 1969 in India, this organization has branches spread across the globe for conserving wildlife. This organization has been instrumental in conserving wildlife in the Western Ghats of India and has significantly supported activities for preserving wildlife in the north east. It has taken up several initiatives to protect various species from tigers to Rhinos.
  • Project Tiger: Started by the Government of India, this organization aims to protect tigers which are on the verge of extinction. The organization initially started with a modest of 9 tiger reserves now has more than 25 tiger reserves with a population of more than 1400 tigers and has effectively implemented schemes to ensure that tigers and wildlife are protected for the future.
  • Wildlife Conservation Society of India: Started in 1960’s this organization aims to protect and preserve tigers and wildlife across the country and has taken up several projects for the same. Some of the notable projects include conservation of tigers in Karnataka, Rain forest conservation in Kundremukh, protection of wildlife in the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra and many more.

It is the responsibility of each one of us to fund and support these organizations and protect and preserve wildlife for a better environment.
