The Pench National Park in central India is a small park struggling to keep surrounding villagers from poaching tigers. The Kanha reserve uses resettlement plans to balance the competing needs of wildlife and humans. The Kaziranga National Park uses guards and rangers to maintain strict protection of their animals herds and prevent human intrusion.

A sweeter home for swans
Article Abstract:
The colony of 2,000 trumpeter swans that lives in Yellowstone National Park could be wiped out by a sustained frost. As a result, officials are attempting to resettle some of the birds on Summer Lake in southern Oregon. Because the swans are very loyal to their home territory, researchers are transferring cygnets with some adults, hoping that the babies will imprint on the Oregon area as home.
