Together We Can Save the Nature

The blog was conceptualized in the year 2020 amidst the raging corona virus. And the idea was to attract attention of the people towards nature conservation. Though a large number of people already understand the significance of environment protection, many more are still required to be made aware over the green issues. In our country, environmental issues majorly move around tiger conservation. Tigers are a keystone species sitting on the top of the ecological pyramid, and their survival is pivotal to the health of the jungles and wellbeing of several animals, including humans.

 Interestingly, in the times of Covid19, a section of environmentalists also started correlating the significance of tiger reserves in checking the zoonotic diseases and have been of the view that several  zoonotic pandemics like Covid-19 could be checked , if not eliminated, through the green buffers. Most of the blogs in these columns are thus devoted to the predator and the readers have also appreciated them. But we would like them to patronize the pieces written on other species also. We would also be happy if we get inputs and suggestions on the stories that you would like to read. We look forward for continuing support from our readers as we continue to bring interesting and exciting stories from the wild.  We believe: “Together we can save the nature.”

Tiger Corridor : Now Satpuda Melghat National Parks Connectivity At Risk

Much- hyped wildlife friendly NH7 passing   through the famous Kanha -Pench forest corridor and named after the two famous national parks should have 11.81 kms long under passes to let the wildlife have a safe passage. Instead the National Highways Authority of India (NHA) overlooked the rules and constructed only 4.41 km long underpasses compromising their dimensions.  Similarly in NH6, only 2.95 km of mitigation work was done against a schedule 8 kms length. Not everybody knows this truth.  Now NHAI seems to be completely violating the Wildlife (Protection) act 1973 while constructing a road patch on NH46 ( Hoshangabad -Betul). This is a functional tiger corridor connecting Melghat and Satpura tiger reserves. Now the connectivity is also as threatened as the tiger itself.  No Lessons Learnt From NH6 Kanha- Pench Corridor The reduced length of structures in  MH6  and NH7  -connecting East with the West and  North with the South  respectively -for safety of the wildlife could be achiev

Why MP is Denying 105- Yr Old Elephant a Guinness World Record

  She is 105 year old and retired 17 -year ago. Vatsala is the oldest surviving elephant on the earth.  Her name should have entered the Guinness Book of World Records. The female elephant has been in news after reports of deteriorating health conditions in Panna tiger reserve (PTR) , Vatsala’s home.  The director of PTR Uttam Kumar Sharma confirms she is about 105 years old.  thewildlifeindia would want  the state forest department to approach  the Guinness Books to  help Vatsala create a world record . For the last several days she had stopped eating and was unwell, said PTR veterinarian Dr Sanjeev Gupta. “But now she is improving as she has resumed food intake”, he said. From Kerala to PTR, it was a Long Journey The female elephant was shifted to the PTR in 1993 from the Bori reserve forest located in Hoshangabad district. In fact, she was brought to Bori from Kerala's Nilambur forest in 1971.In 2007, when Shahbaz Ahmed was director of the PTR he had initiated a move to get her

Game Hunting by Maharajas to Bushmeat Poaching: Blackbucks killed in Thousands

Almost a quarter century after Bollywood star Salman Khan's blackbuck (Antilope cervicapra) poaching case in 1998, shooting of  five antelopes in Madhya Pradesh has brought the animal back in media glare. Murder of three policemen by the poachers and the politics that ensued made this case even more sensational. Lest the supreme sacrifice made by the police be forgotten, it should be an inspiration to the forest department and the police force to check the blackbuck poaching, still so rampant in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh which  accounts for the maximum blackbuck killing. In the past maharajas of erstwhile princely  states  in India would indulge in game hunting killing thousands of blackbucks.Its meat was served then in royal weddings  and it continues to be in demand even now  leading to bushmeat  poaching.  Blackbuck Poaching and Murder of Cops Five blackbucks were killed by the hunters in Guna district of Madhya Pradesh when the cops challenged the poachers, the
