Kailash Sankhala (30 January 1925 – 15 August 1994) was an Indian naturalist and conservationist. He was the Director of Delhi Zoological Park and Chief Wildlife Warden of Rajasthan.[1] He is best known for his work in preserving tigers. Sankhala was the first Director of Project Tiger, a conservation programme set up in India in 1973. [2]. He was well known as "The Tiger Man of India" and was awarded the Padma Shri in 1992. Wildlife managerSankhala started at the Forest Service in 1953[3]. He managed wildlife sanctuaries in Sariska, Bharatpur, Banvihar and Ranthambhor, and the forest divisions of Rajasthan until 1964. In 1965, he was appointed Director of the Delhi Zoological Park. For five years Sankhala served as head of the zoo, where his firmly held views on what zoos should be initially aroused anger, and later admiration. He had confrontations too with the Indian tourist establishment, and with the poachers who wished to make quick money out of tiger skins. In 1973 he was appointed head of Project Tiger, an attempt to save the Indian tiger from extinction.[4] Tiger conservationKailash Sankhala was the first conservationist who raised his voice in favour of protecting the tiger as early as 1956. He conducted an extensive study under the Jawahar Lal Nehru fellowship during a time when tiger population was dwindling at an alarming rate due to poaching and hunting.[5] His research later lead him to become the first Director of Project Tiger in 1973.[6] In 1989, he established the Tiger Trust to continue his commitment to tiger conservation.[7] Sankhala's son, Pradeep Sankhala, took over the charge of the Tiger Trust after his father's death. Upon his death in 2003, his son Amit Sankhala stepped in. Personal lifeKailash Sankhala was born in Jodhpur, Rajasthan on 30 January 1925. Sankhala died on 15 August 1994 in Jaipur. Awards and honoursIn 1965, the government of Rajasthan bestowed on Sankhala the Merit Award for outstanding contribution in wildlife conservation. He was the first civil servant to receive the Jawaharlal Nehru Fellowship in 1970 to study the tiger. He received another Merit Award in 1982 for his book on the tiger, and in 1992 he was awarded the country's fourth highest civil honour, the Padma Shri by the President of India. The Ministry of Environment and Forests has established the Kailash Sankhala Fellowship award for conservation efforts in his honour.[8] Bibliography
