The tragedy of Wildlife Tourism

The timely interventions of the Hon’ble High Court of Uttarakhand in the existing practices of wildlife tourism in and around Corbett besides other relevant issues directly related to the tiger conservation in Corbett have amply revealed not only the failure of the state Govt. in presenting its case through various affidavits as well as their representatives but also the extent of knowledge, Corbett being the biggest employer in the state as well as the model of tiger conservation in the tiger’s entire distribution range across the world, of all those providing first hand information to the Hon’ble court coupled with the lack of “SUSTAINABILITY” among all the stakeholders in tourism. Significance of sensible tourism as a tool for tiger conservation should not suffer!!!!
