I was greatly surprised to learn that the Government of India has blocked many proposed tiger reserves and areas where tigers have been roaming for a long time. In these regions, there is potential for extracting minerals from the land in the future, or geological surveys have already found minerals there. It is surprising because we are a developing country with increasing needs for self-reliance over time. Yet, on the other hand, the conservation of wildlife is also an extremely important aspect. I can say without any exaggeration that in the recent government, there has been more focus on media attention in the name of wildlife conservation, while very little actual work has been done on the ground. They have destroyed many elephant corridors in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Jharkhand in the name of coal mining. Additionally, the boundaries of several tiger reserves have been tampered with during this government’s tenure. This includes the important Ken-Betwa project in Panna and disturbances to wildlife in Tadoba, Maharashtra, along with the Yavatmal district, where they seem to have a mindset of disrupting wildlife. Furthermore, in Sariska Tiger Reserve in Rajasthan, certain areas of critical tiger habitat are being removed areas that form part of the tigers’ territory while new areas are being added where tiger movement is only occasional and sporadic. These actions appear to be taken solely to benefit their friends. All these situations are increasing stress on the lives of wild animals and raising the likelihood of them entering residential areas. If this continues, it won’t take long for this cycle to break down completely, because wild animals are highly sensitive and cannot tolerate such changes. If we truly want to set an example in wildlife conservation (not just through media coverage, but on the ground), then we must stop all these unnecessary “innovations” and the destruction of forests. Otherwise, everything will shrink into very limited pockets. Politicians plant trees under slogans like “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam”, but they clear large forest areas elsewhere. There must be sincerity in every task mere photo-ops achieve nothing. #forestecology #wildlifeawareness #bigcatprotection #developbharat
