• APCs are fundamental units of protection in a tiger forest. Several APCs across tiger reserves are underequipped. WCT has identified a list of items that are essential for effective functioning of APCs.
  • Crucial underequipped APCs will be identified and necessary items added.
  • It is expected that the fortification of APCs will provide a) equipment to carryout protection duties in an efficient manner and b) better living conditions for forest guards.
  • The Save our Tigers funds will not be used in construction of APCs.
