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.

If your assumption is correct, this will be a good example of a bad use for a scientific technique. The radiocollaring of tigers most be used to monitor tigers for scientific purposes, NOT to locate them for tourists.
In past cases, I still remember a few radiocollared tigers in Ranthambore that were captured only to put them the collar and nothing more. There were not measured, not weighed, and the worst of all, they were not monitored for scientific purposes, but only to locate them for tourists. [img]images/smilies/angry.gif[/img]
These are the cases that transform "good methods" into "bad practices".
