WWF-PATA Bagh Mitra Awards, jointly instituted by WWF-India and Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA), aim to acknowledge individuals and institutions/ community groups for their leadership and transformative contribution to conserve India's wild Tigers and their habitats. Shri Tana Tapi, Divisional Forest Officer, Pakke Wildlife Sanctuary Assam (and Shri R. Sreenivasa Murthy, Chief Conservator of Forests and Field Director, Panna Tiger Reserve, Madhya Pradesh) received WWF-PATA's Bagh Mitra Awards 2011 at a function hosted by the Ministry of Tourism, Govt. of India at Hotel Ashok, New Delhi.

Shri Tana Tapi received this prestigious award for his exemplary work to restore and secure the Pakke Wildlife Sanctuary. Despite numerous challenges including armed militancy, poachers and other criminal elements, Shri Tapi was successful in upscaling anti-poaching efforts in this area. Such personal threats and limitations of human resources and other infrastructure never deterred him from working hard to protect tigers of Pakke as also their habitat and other associated species. During the last two years, he has constructed 40 anti-poaching camps and arrested several poachers.
