From 2001 April to March 2009 different Field Directors have given priority to different things forgetting the basics of management of tiger reserve that security was the most important item as Panna Tiger Reserve is surrounded by large number of villages indulging in poaching. Monitoring of movement of Pardhis and bahelias who thrive basically on poaching has not been properly done. The hunting communities coming from outside have not been tracked. The middle men were main drivers of trade in tiger body parts. They supplied tiger products to big traders located in Nagpur, Allahabad and Delhi.
