Ranibennur-Wildreservat

i2i3i6 Das Ranibennur-Wildreservat (englisch: Ranebennur Blackbuck Sanctuary) bei Ranibennur in Karnataka (Indien) ist ein Wildschutzgebiet, das vorwiegend zum Schutz der Hirschziegenantilope (englisch: Blackbuck), des Indischen Wolfs und der Kappentrappe gegründet wurde. Das Schutzgebiet umfasst eine Fläche von etwa 119 Quadratkilometern. Die Landschaft besteht aus hügeligem Buschland mit Akazien- und Eukalyptusplantagen. Der stark gefährdete Indische Wolf kommt im Schutzgebiet vor, Sichtungen sind jedoch selten. Laut einer Studie aus dem Jahr 2006 konnte in den vorangehenden 4 Jahren kein einziger Zuchtnachweis erbracht werden. Neben dem Wolf kommen der Bengalfuchs, der Goldschakal und die Rohrkatze im Schutzgebiet vor. Einzelnachweise
Ranibennur Blackbuck Sanctuary

Ranebennur Blackbuck Sanctuary (119 km2) was declared as a sanctuary mainly to protect blackbucks. It comprises two unconnected portions, an eastern and a western bit. The sanctuary has a core zone of 14.87 km2 and a buffer-cum tourism zone of 104.13 km2. The area is covered mainly by scrub forest and Eucalyptus plantations. Agricultural fields surround the sanctuary. The sanctuary is also inhabited by the highly endangered great Indian bustard and the wolf. However, the great Indian bustard has not been sighted in the sanctuary since around 2002 and may be locally extinct. Blackbuck are plentiful with a count of more than 6000 in the 2005 census. The blackbuck can be sighted between October and March, while the bustard is sighted from February to June. History Ranebennur Blackbuck Sanctuary was declared a wildlife sanctuary on 17 June 1974 to protect Blackbucks. Geography This Sanctuary is situated approximately 118 km from Hubli and 302 km from Bangalore in Haveri district. It is 8 km from Ranebennur town. It is divided into three blocks viz; Hulathi, Hunasikatti and Alageri for administrative purposes. It has a core area of 14.87 km2 and a buffer zone of 104.13 km2 wherein tourists are allowed. There is a forest rest house on the sanctuary boundary at Gangajala.[1] Flora The original vegetation until 1956 consisted mainly of Acacia, catechu, Prosopis juliflora, Dodonaea viscosa and Cassia auriculata. In an attempt to increase vegetation cover in the area, it was planted with eucalyptus and some indigenous species. Today, the top canopy is made up almost only of eucalyptus, along with some Hardwickia, binata and Albizia amara. The middle and lower storeys consist of Acacia, catechu, Prosopis juliflora, Dodonaea viscosa, Acaxia sundra, Zizyphus mauritiana, Lantana camara, Randia sp. sacred Tree and Cassia auriculata. The western portion has more open scrubland. Subabul (leucaena leucocephala) has been planted in patches in some parts of the sanctuary. Cassia fistula, neem (Azadirachta indica), Holoptelia integrifolia, Madhuca indica, Ficus sp. and bamboo have been planted along the sanctuary's roads. Fauna The sanctuary is known for its blackbuck and wolf populations. Other mammals include wild boar, fox, jackal, langur, porcupine, common mongoose, Bengal monitor hare and pangolin. The population of blackbuck has seen a constant increase since the establishment of the sanctuary. The great Indian bustard, a large cursorial bird, which was quite common in the short grass plains and semi-arid areas of the Indian subcontinent 100 years ago, was indiscriminately hunted, and its habitat destroyed, resulting in a drastic decline in its population, until it came under stringent protection in the 1970s. The highest estimate of bustard in the Ranebennur sanctuary is 14 birds. Apart from the great Indian bustard, avifauna in the sanctuary include peafowl, Asian paradise flycatcher, little grebe, little cormorant, Indian spot-billed duck, fantails, Tickell's blue flycatcher, sparrow hawk, Red-wattled lapwing, sirkeer cuckoo, large grey babbler, Bay backed shrike and black drongo.

Tranquebar

Tranquebar (modernament adoptat el nom tàmi de Tarangampadi o Tharangampadi que vol dir "El poble de les onades"; antigament Sadanganpadi) és una ciutat portuaria i nagar panchayat al districte de Nagapattinam a Tamil Nadu. Fou la principal colònia danesa a l'Índia (1620-1845) amb el nom de Trankebar o Tranquebar derivat del tàmil Tarangambadi. Consta al cens del 2001 amb una població de 20.841 habitants. La població un segle enrere, el 1901, incloent el suburbi de Poraiyar, era de 13.142 habitants. Història La Companyia Danesa de les Índies Orientals va obtenir el 1620 una concessió de terra del nayak de Tanjore, que fou la colònia de Tranquebar on es va construir una fortalesa anomenada Fort Dansborg obra del capità Ove Gjedde. El 1624 va passar a domini reial. El 1706 van arribar els primers missioners protestants Ziegenbalg i Plutschau, i van fundar una missió sota el patronatge del rei Frederic IV de Dinamarca; l'església, una de les primers protestants de l'Índia, es va construir el 1718 i va estendre la seva influència sobre gran part del país tàmil. Quan el missioner Swartz, que va ser l'ànima de l'expansió, va abandonar Tranquebar el 1762 la seva obra va començar a decaure. En la guerra de 1780-1781 Haidar Ali de Mysore va cobrar una multa als danesos de 140.000 rupies per haver venut armes al nawab d'Arcot. El 1801 la ciutat fou ocupada pels britànics durant les guerres a Europa en temps de Napoleó, però restaurada per la pau de Kiel de 1814. El 1820 la missió protestant es podia donar per liquidada; el 1841 la societat de Dresden (després Missió Luterana Evangèlica de Leipzig) va agafar el relleu. El 1845, objecte de boicot dels britànics, les colònies daneses van haver de ser venudes a la Gran Bretanya (Tranquebar, Serampore i illes Nicobar) per 12 lakhs de rupies. Tranquebar havia estat un port molt important, i va recuperar llavors una part de la importància que havia tingut i havia perdut als darrers anys. Fou declarada capital del districte de Tanjore, però va perdre aquesta condició el 1860 i va decaure final i definitivament el 1861 quan es va obrir el ferrocarril fins a Nagapattinam. La fortalesa danesa estava en part en ruïnes al final del segle xix i no fou restaurada fins al 2002.

Tarangambadi

Tarangambadi je pobřežní město ve státě Tamilnádu v Indii. Jméno města znamená v místním jazyce Místo zpívajících vln. V letech 1620–1845 bylo město dánskou kolonií, známou pod názvem Trankebar nebo Tranquebar. Zajímavosti Dánský král v lednu 1759 zaručil Moravské církvi náboženskou svobodu ve všech dánských koloniích v Indii. Jeho přáním bylo, aby Moravané rozvinuli svou misii na Nikobarách. V Tranquebaru již od roku 1706 působili dánští misionáři. Moravští bratři-misionáři vypluli v listopadu 1759 z Neuwiedu a do Indie dorazili v červenci 1760. V Porayaru nedaleko Tranquebatu zakoupili zahradu, na níž postavili první dům. Tuto základnu nazvali Brüdergarten (bratrská zahrada). Někteří misionáři pocházeli z řad exulantů a zde zemřeli.

Транкебар

Транкебар (дат. Tranquebar, Trankebar) — датская колония в Индии, располагавшаяся в 250 километрах от Мадраса. В 1620 году Транкебар был приобретён у раджи Танджура датской Ост-Индской компанией, которая превратила его в центр торговли и мореплавания между Данией и Индией. Первым губернатором стал датский адмирал Гедде. В 1660 году здесь был возведён форт Дансборг, от которого до наших дней сохранились стены и бастионы. Помимо крепости также сохранилась Ново-Иерусалимская церковь, построенная в 1718 году. В XVIII веке в городе проживало около 3 тысяч жителей, однако численность датских служащих, солдат и торговцев едва доходила до двух сотен. Морские связи с метрополией никогда не были интенсивными. Из Копенгагена в год приходило всего одно или два судна, а в 1639 году сообщение прервалось совсем. Однако Транкебар оставался датским, а в 1670 году морское сообщение с Копенгагеном было восстановлено благодаря вновь организованной датской Ост-Индской компании. Впрочем, связи стали регулярными лишь с основанием в 1732 году Азиатской компании, отправлявшей сюда по одному кораблю в год. В 1705 году в Транкебаре обосновалась лютеранская миссия, которая считается самой первой лютеранской миссией в мире. В 1801 году город захватили англичане, однако год спустя Дании удалось вернуть его дипломатическим путём. В 1808 году Транкебар вновь перешёл под контроль Англии, но в 1815 году был возвращён датчанам. В 1845 году колония была продана английской Ост-Индской компании за 20 тыс. фунтов. Датский флаг над фортом был спущен 7 ноября 1845 года. Источники Gyldendals Leksikon. Nordisk familjebok. B. 29. — Stockholm, 1919.
Tharangambadi

Tharangambadi (tamil: தரங்கம்பாடி, äldre namn Tranquebar) är en hamnstad i den indiska delstaten Tamil Nadu, och tillhör distriktet Nagapattinam. Folkmängden uppgick till 23 191 invånare vid folkräkningen 2011. Staden är belägen vid en av floden Cauverys mynningsarmar på koromandelkusten. Kolonitiden Den skånske adelsmannen Ove Gjedde till Tomarp utanför Kvidinge i nordvästra Skåne grundade staden Trankebar (Tranquebar) för sin kung Kristian IV:s räkning år 1620, och byggde fortet Dansborg. Staden anlades på ett från rajan av Tanjore köpt område, och blev huvudort i de danska besittningarna i Indien tills de såldes till Brittiska Ostindiska Kompaniet för 20 000 brittiska pund år 1845. Den tillhörde under brittisk tid presidentskapet Madras. Under den danska tiden var staden en livlig hamnstad med omkring 3 000 invånare som skyddades av det stora fortet, Danmarks näst största efter Kronborg. Mission År 1705 upprättade Bartholomäus Ziegenbalg (1683-1719) och Heinrich Plütschau (1677-1747) den första protestantiska missionsstationen utanför Europa och Nordamerika i Tranquebar. Biskopen i den evangelisk-lutherska tamilkyrkan (Thamil Suvesesha Lutheran Thiruchabai) i Tamil Nadu, som bildades 1919 efter mission från Svenska kyrkan och den lutherska Leipzigmissionen i Tyskland, har titeln Biskop av Tranquebar. Modern tid Än idag finns spår av Danska Ostindiska Kompaniets verksamhet i stadens gamla kvarter. Stadsporten finns kvar, guvernörsbostaden har renoverats och det finns gatskyltar på danska. Fortet är numera museum. Staden drabbades av tsunamin år 2004 och erhöll en del av hjälpen ifrån Danmark. Externa länkar Wikimedia Commons har media som rör Tharangambadi.
