The monitoring program will collect and stream to the biodiversity dashboard, real-time values on the number of tiger trafficker arrests, the number of tiger trafficker convictions, the number of intercepted shipments of tiger parts, and estimates of tiger abundance in India.
One source of data on the number of arrested tiger traffickers and the status of their subsequent court cases is the Centralized Wildlife Trafficking Investigative Database (CWT-ID) maintained by C4ADS. Access to this data will require setting up a (possibly paid) partnership with C4ADS. Again, courtesy of C4ADS, one source of data on the number of intercepted shipments of tiger parts can be acquired for free from https://wildlifedashboard.c4ads.org/home/about.
One source of information on Bengal tiger abundance is from India's National Tiger Conservation Authority. Bengal tiger abundance in India can be estimated by first acquiring the most recent data on tiger sightings. Doing so will require the cooperation of Indian conservation agencies. This cooperation would be won through the services of the firm's liaison consultant. See Cogent Social Sciences 2022 for a discussion of why this consultant is critical to the success of any in-country biodiversity project. And see When To Set Up A Liaison Office in India 2024 for a step-by-step to setting up a liaison office in India.
The article Probe 2023 contains an exemplar data set along with its use in computing an estimate of tiger abundance using a capture-recapture statistical estimator. A continuous-time approach is taken in African Journal of Ecology 2020 . A SAS code for such a computation with an accompanying data set is available here.
