40 5 - Sampling Track Plots (Source Populations: Tiger Reserves, Protected Areas) As a part of intensive monitoring of source populations of tigers, data will be recorded from pressure impression pads (PIP’s, track plots) in every beat. A minimum of 5 PIPs will be permanently maintained in each beat. The dimension of the PIP shall not be less than 6m in length the width of the PIP should equal the foot path, jungle trail or dry nullaha’s width on which the PIP is made.GPS coordinates of all PIP’s need to be recorded. The location of the PIPs within the beat should be such that they maximize the possibility of recording carnivore tracks. Minimum distance between any 2 PIPs should be more than 1.5km. The PIPs should be cleaned of debris, leaf litter, gravel and covered with fine dust of about 0.5cm depth. After preparing the PIP, data should be recorded the next morning and the PIP cleared of all tracks. The PIPs should be sampled thrice every month during summer and winter. In case a prepared PIP is disturbed due to rain, traffic etc. then it should be set again before data is collected. The topography and forest type should be recorded for each PIP. Trails of all carnivore and mega herbivores species should be recorded e.g. tiger one track set, leopard two track sets, several dhole track sets (as it may not be possible to identify individual track sets due to many tracks by a passing dhole pack), one small cat track (as species level identification may not be possible). It is important to note that a track set is constituted by one to many pugmarks made by a single animal traversing the track plot (PIP). One need not identify the gender or individual animal (tiger), but if this information is known, it should be entered in the remarks column. If there are more than one track sets of “same” animal eg. a tiger moving up and down the trail several times, they should be recorded as separate track sets.
