Sariska in Rajasthan is now in news as a tragedy. It is a tiger reserve and received the highest amount in terms of fund in India.But the result is entirely opposite. Now There is not even a single tiger is there. why this happens ?
According to the answers 'found out' the forest dept prepaired a report to the ministery to restrengthen the reserve.The sole reason they found out is the grazing by the local community. So dept is trying to rehabilitate the community called 'gujjar'.In the latest EPW there was an article regarding it.
How far rehabilitating the traditional community is meaningful in protecting the forest is the matter here. I expect you will respond to this blog.

It is a very serious issue mash.I am not sure whether rehabilitaion is a sound measure.But one must remember if Lions exists in any part of the world other than in Africa, then it is in Our own Gir Forests.Bengal Tiger is an important species in the cat family.If measures are not taken,then it is a matter of time that they will be extinct as Dodos.So the Govt should be on their toes while dealing with such sensitive issues and should go to any extend to preserve these species even if it includes rehabilitation
