Indian wildlife sanctuary, information data and its condition

[Pckts]

Ok, it sounded like you were attacking.
My links have specific quotations attached and the entire articles are there for your reading.

You can see where the #s are received from and how they got them. They aren't hard to find, you can look all over and find mass information regarding any of it.

I absolutely agree with this
"The only money forest dept gets from tourists is park entrance fees"
But that is not what was said, you said Indian Gov't.
Which is why these parks are so underfunded, the large revenue they generate never gets redistributed to the parks until everybody else takes their share.
But they certainly generate massive revenue, but they will never generate the type of revenue commercial buildings will but they need to be protected far more than the importance of sky scrapers that will be half vacant and huge homes that steal all the natural resources.

"There is a limited number of vehicles allowed inside the forest, which means even if there are more tourists visiting, its not going to translate into more revenue."
That is the alleged case, but Ranth, Kahna, Tadoba and tons of others allow "VIP" jeeps to be there on the premise. There are tons of images especially in the Ustaad thread where you can see them pictured with the photographers specifically stating how bad it is.


"One of the links you posted itself lists poaching as a threat and same about deforestation, not which is greater. And if poaching wasn't the biggest threat, then all the tiger reserves should be carrying tigers to their full capacity. You keep bringing up Kaziranga. Then tell me why does Kaziranga have so many more tigers, rhinos and elephants than the three times bigger Manas?"

Poaching is a huge problem, but it doesn't come close to the world wide threat that deforestation does. Sumatra is shown as a prime example of what deforestation has done.
For palm oil, coffee and other non sense.
Check out the green peace photos on it, they bike around the entire area getting overhead shots showing you how horrible it is.

Kaziranga is a protected park inside of Assam, Im not sure how many tigers Manas has, but protected areas are obviously going to hold better numbers than others.
Corbett is a protected area and has the highest tiger population in the world I believe, not sure about their elephant population, but Im sure its more as well, they don't come close to the number of tigers per sq. mile that Kazi has though.

Nobody is saying poaching isn't a serious problem, unchecked it will decimate any creature, but its a small problem compared to the loss of habitat. You are talking about implications of mass extinction for all creatures, including human beings.
Climate change, radiation increase, oxygen depletion, tide raising devastation etc.

Poaching is a by product, if we protect forests we protect the animals in side of them. Why wouldn't a logger kill a big cat or other rare animal if he knew he was going to get more money on the side?

Both are horrible, I certainly would never disagree with that. Reply
