Explanation

The term 'M-STRIPES' stands for Monitoring System for Tigers – Intensive Protection and Ecological Status. It is a software-based monitoring system launched by the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) in India. The purpose of M-STRIPES is to strengthen patrolling and surveillance in tiger reserves across India. It helps forest officials monitor tigers, their prey, and habitat conditions more effectively by collecting and analyzing real-time data from patrols. This system aids in better management, protection, and conservation efforts within tiger reserves. Therefore, 'M-STRIPES' is directly related to the maintenance and conservation of tiger reserves.
