There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
Definitely bribing is involve in such cases. In fact bribing is first method used by poachers to lurk poor villagers nearby the national park to poison or kill the tiger.
I have read and seen some documentary in which poor villagers do this crime for 5000- 6000 INR (~100 USD) offered by poachers.
But the point is , now poachers are using new technology like internet and website like facebook, twitter wildlife experts blog etc, scientists accounts and other places where endangered animals information can be found easily.
So for example consider, someone of us or wildlife photographer uploaded his photo of tiger mother with 3 cubs, in enthusiasm he also mention that he has take the photo yesterday in particular area, Now a poachers following this information will definitely use it to locate the mother tiger for his illegal trade business.
I agree that killing of Bandhavgarh tiger "Kallu" may had happened through this way.
Recently I also read an article where African wildlife park placed a notice not to update Rhino photos and information on facebook and twitter. Will try to find this article and will post here.
