2) Tadoba - It has transformed from a little known forest in the 90’s to Central India’s tiger capital. The only park where tiger sightings in #buffer zone are as good as the core.

3) Kaziranga - Wildlife as far as the #eye can see, the only park in #India that can match the experience of #MasaiMara. You can sight the “Big Five” in a single #safari.

Think y'all must have seen that latest *scary* video from #Corbett by now!
Not the first time it has happened - this is quite common in that specific area of Corbett and for good reason.

This specific place in #Corbett is an area of ~8 football fields with Gypsy tracks running through it.
From above, place looks like a City Block divided into 8 perfectly rectangular sections.
It is full of elephant grass making it a perfect hiding place for resting Tigers.

This small area is PACKED with Tigers!
One afternoon during a pre-Census recce in offseason, we counted 5 adult tigers and 4 cubs inside this tiny area.
The area is quite close to a popular (govt) resort and there lies the problem.

& I discuss a largely ignored narrative:of people seeking support for relocation.Historically,resettlements have been poorly recorded; there have been evictions from PAs that have led to penury, isolation, further impoverishment, which I strongly condemn.There is NO room 2/22
for forced,induced,unjust resettlement. However,it is troubling that resettlement discourse has ignored the narrative of people voluntarily seeking to move out of PAs where they face immense hardship due to lack of access to education,healthcare, markets,roads,jobs,business

On #WorldElephantDay horrified to see this regressive unempathetic report from @MoEFCC that fails to recognize the ecology & nature of #elephants, seeks to block their #RightOfPassage confine them to tiny slivers of #ProtectedAreas 1/n
It speaks of 'restricting #elephants in their natural habitat- Restricted by way of trenches , railway fences , cement structures and this is what such 'best management' practices do . 2/n
#elephants are migrants they will move...and try to break down barricades that hem in their #forests and block their passage.
