When forest guards patrolling the vast Dudhwa National Park, in Central India, spot a carcass, they quickly alert the authorities to get it removed. The dead animals, mostly cattle are hauled out of the park before poachers get a chance to poison to kill - one of their favourite ways of trapping tigers for the illegal export of their skin, organs and bones to markets in East Asia.
