Last winter in November 2011, I headed to India's Kanha Tiger Reserve to survey livestock attacked by tigers and leopards. What I discovered upon arrival shocked and compelled me: livestock die every day, yet local people are surprisingly tolerant of the large cats that kill their animals. The livestock compensation program within the boundaries of Kanha appears to be successfully abating tempers and minimizing retaliation against tigers and leopards. Three seasons, 484 dead livestock, 115 owner interviews and 152 stinky cat scat samples later, I returned to Yale in mid-October to analyze my data. To read more about my last year of fieldwork and the gist of my research, check out my guest blog on Scientists Without Borders and my just-released article in Yale's Sage Magazine.

Did you know that Solar Energy today is cheaper than Grid energy electricity? Or that the cost of energy from an Invertor or Diesel Generator is about 2~3 times more than the grid energy that is used to charge the batteries? Depending upon your consumer category and location, you could reduce your monthly bill by up to 40%, sometimes even more.
