Maggie the German wirehaired pointer has arrived in Cambodia with an unusual task — sniffing out tiger droppings in one of Cambodia’s largest nature reserves.The unorthodox move to employ a dog trained in Russia to search for signs of the big cats is part of a campaign to boost a tiger population in Asia that has plummeted to as few as 5,000 from 100,000 a century ago.

Starting next week, the salt-and-pepper, 6-year-old will begin scouring the undergrowth and sniffing for tiger scent on trees at the 1,158 square mile (3,000 square kilometer) Seima Biodiversity Conservation Area in northeastern Cambodia.

It is unclear how many tigers are even left in Cambodia, where — like in much of Asia — poaching and habitat encroachment are blamed for decimating the population.

The turn to dogs comes after camera traps and field surveys failed to find the big cats last year. The last sign of a tiger was in 2007, when a paw print was spotted in the park.

“We think this is the best method when we have a large area and not that many tigers,” said Hannah O’Kelly, a wildlife monitoring adviser for the New York-based Wildlife Conservation Society.

WCS and the wild cat conservation group Panthera, also based in New York, are spending about $30,000 to bring Maggie and a second dog from Russia to Seima later this year.

The effort to find tiger droppings is part of a larger campaign by conservationists worldwide to mine animal droppings for genetic information such as DNA that can save endangered species.

Elephant dung, for example, was used two years ago to calculate the population of pachyderms in Malaysia’s Taman Negara National Park.

Now, researchers are hoping the tiger scat will help determine the existence of tigers in Seima along with their sex, age and whether any are pregnant or even under threat.

“As we gain the technology to extract things from scat like DNA and hormones, all of sudden scat becomes a gold mine of information,” said Linda Kerley, a WCS consultant who trained the dogs in Russia.

O’Kelly said the data from the dung would allow researchers to establish a baseline population of tigers for the reserve and then develop a conservation plan based on the numbers and the potential threats.

Bringing in the two dogs is part of a $10 million, 10-year initiative launched in 2006 by WCS and Panthera called “Tigers Forever.” It aims to increase the number of tigers by 50 percent in Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, the Russian Far East and Thailand through a range of measures that include better monitoring, assessments of threats and efforts to minimize the dangers facing the big cats.

Men Soriyun, a project manager for Seima Biodiversity Conservation Area, said he feels dogs offer the best hope of finding the tigers and that the method could be used by other national reserves.

“The best way to find tigers in the jungle is to use dogs because they can find tigers by their smell,” Men Soriyun said.

Cambodia is the first country in Asia to employ dogs to search for tigers, a method pioneered in Russia’s Far East that led to an accurate count of the hundreds of tigers spread across the region’s several thousand miles (kilometers).

Since then, dogs have been used to search for jaguars in South America and leopards in Africa.

All six dogs taught to search for tigers were trained by Kerley in Russia’s Lazovsky Nature Reserve. The best dogs for the task, she said, are hunting or sheep herding dogs that can easily detect the musky smell of the tiger’s scat, excrement left by a wild animal.

“We don’t want a dog that will hunt tigers,” said Kerley, who accompanied Maggie to Cambodia. “We want a dog that wants to hunt for the scent of the scat.”

The fear, O’Kelly said, is that the dogs don’t find any droppings.

“If we cover the whole area and we don’t find any tiger scat, then we can be reasonably confident there are no tigers,” O’Kelly said. “That would be very disappointing and I hope that doesn’t happen.”

IP communications services and solutions firm Net4 India on Wednesday said it will offer subscription-based messaging and services such as e-mail, storage and calendars to its enterprise customers.

Built on Microsoft’s Exchange platform, Net4 India will provide a broad range of services right from basic e-mail to hosting additional storage, personal domains, calendars and tasks, the company said in a statement.

The services will be offered to enterprises, small and medium businesses (SMBs), small office/home office (SOHO) businesses, and individual consumers, it added.

As the solution is subscription-based, there is no investment required for licenses, hardware, installing and managing the software in-house.

“The economic slowdown has fueled the demand for software as a service model among Indian enterprises and SMBs. With this, we hope to expand our already strong 2.5 lakh client base across tier I and tier II cities in the country,” Net4 India Chairman and Managing Director Jasjit Sawhney said.

The hosted service shall be backed by Net4’s data centres and STM8 Internet backbone connectivity, he added.

The worldwide market for hosted business e-mail services is expected to grow to more than USD 1 billion in 2010, the company said in the statement.

The capital’s civic authorities started CNG-run pyres in three crematoriums last year, but they have been shut for many months. The reason? The head technician has undergone a heart surgery!

“The contract for the three pilot projects was given jointly to a Delhi-based company and Gujarat-based Alpha Equipments. The technician handling the project on behalf of Alpha Equipments recently underwent a heart surgery, so in his absence work is stalled,” explained M.K. Paul, a senior official at Municipal Corporation of Delhi’s (MCD) health department.

Adding to technical barriers, a third party can’t be roped in to maintain the three crematoriums because such a move would be a ‘breach of trust’ of the current 10-year contract with the two firms.

The MCD, which manages over 90 percent of the capital’s land area, runs over 100 crematoriums. Most have wooden pyres, while a few have electric crematoriums.

In a move to reduce pollution and provide an environment friendly option, the civic agency started three pilot projects in 2008 - the Bela Road crematorium near Rajghat, the Sarai Kale Khan crematorium near Nizammudin and the Nigambodh Ghat crematorium near Civil Lines.

The Bela Road crematorium, which has provision for four CNG pyres, has been closed for six months now, while the one at Sarai Kale Khan has been shut for over two months. The one at Nigambodh Ghat just opened last week after being closed for months.

“We are facing technical problems and repairs were needed - so the crematoriums were shut,” Paul told IANS.

MCD has sent a notice to Alpha equipments and sought an explanation, the official said.

“We reckon that the they will do something in a week and from then on the crematoriums will be operational,” said N.K. Yadav, director of MCD’s health department.

Yadav also said that these projects were MCD’s way of promoting environment-friendly alternatives.

Paul added: “Based on the functioning of these crematoriums we were looking to introducing CNG pyres at other sites as well - so this technical difficulty has stalled that also.”

Another snag in the success of the CNG pyres was the recent strike of Indian oil companies when petrol pumps across the country had run dry.

“The oil workers strike had also caused a fuel crunch for the pyres so at that time they were closed,” Paul said.

On another front, the crematorium staff are not too upbeat about the CNG pyres. This is because while the electric pyres cost Rs.3,000, the eco-friendly alternatives are cheaper at just Rs.500.

“The staff is resentful as there is little incentive and no scope for profits,” an MCD official said on condition of anonymity.

First-time mothers who give birth after the age of 35 are more than twice as likely as younger mums to suffer postpartum psychosis that could involve a danger to the newborn child, a Swedish study showed on Tuesday. “The risk of developing psychosis during the first 90 days (after childbirth) increased with age,” said the study, conducted by researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm and published by the Public Library of Science medical journal.

Women over 35 when they gave birth for the first time were 2.4 times more likely to develop postpartum psychosis than those younger than 19, according to the study, which was based on data gathered from all the nearly 750,000 first-time mothers who gave birth in Sweden between 1983 and 2000.

While some 80 percent of new mothers experience some kind of mental disturbance or light depression, only about one in 1,000 women suffer from actual psychosis in the first months after giving birth, the study showed.

Postpartum psychosis is defined as a serious mental disorder, involving delusions, hallucinations, severe eating or sleeping disturbances, suicidal tendencies and can even pose a threat to the newborn baby.

It demands immediate medical attention including the administration of anti-psychotic drugs and hospitalisation.

Most women who suffer from such a psychosis have prior psychotic histories, but the Karolinska research indicated nearly 50 percent of the cases appeared in women “without prior psychotic hospitalisation.”

The study meanwhile showed that factors including smoking and not living with the baby’s father had no impact on whether a woman developed postpartum psychosis, while suffering from diabetes and giving birth to babies with high birth weights reduced the risk.
