Wildlife Management
A series of planned and adaptive actions aimed at achieving these objectives. Here are several key reasons why the wildlife management cycle is essential within forest areas:
It helps maintain the delicate balance of ecosystems, conserves biodiversity, and ensures that both wildlife and human needs are met in a sustainable and responsible manner. It promotes the long-term health and resilience of forest ecosystems while recognizing the intrinsic value of wildlife in their natural habitats.

Electrocution Training
Tigers and wild animals are among the primary targets of power line electrocution. The recommended plan, if implemented will not only reduce the human - animal conflict but also save hundreds of wild animals that die every year in such tragic accidents.

HABITAT MANAGEMENT
Meadow Development Work
at Nawegaon National Park
The Nawegaon Nagzira management authority is continuously working on habitat management to protect the glory of the landscape and provide a safe shelter for existing wildlife. Wildlife management involves a variety of activities aimed at conserving and managing wildlife populations and their habitats. Here are some of the wildlife management activities on which the management is focusing:
