Rajaji-Corbett Tiger Conservation Unit (RCTCU) in north-west India, is one of the eleven Level I Tiger Conservation Units (TCU) identified in the Indian subcontinent for the long term conservation of the tiger. Between November 1999 and March 2000, we evaluated the status of tiger and leopard by counting the number of different pug marks on 3-5 km transect walks along 52 raus, for a total distrance of 479 km in these reserve forests and plantations.
