1. Which tiger reserve in India has become the first to install a wind turbine for power generation?
Periyar Tiger Reserve in Thekkady is the first tiger reserve in India to install a wind turbine for power generation. This installation supports real-time monitoring cameras and Wi-Fi connectivity within the reserve. Previously reliant on solar power, which was less effective due to the region's foggy climate and heavy rainfall, the wind turbine provides a more reliable energy source for the reserve’s technological needs. This advancement enhances conservation efforts and communication capabilities within the extensive forest area of the reserve.
