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.

However, Pctks and "others" are so closed in they mind that simple choose to reject everything, instead of see the full context of the situation.
I am convinced that the radiocollaring in Kanha is wrong, as they are not been captured for scientific purposes (not a single study has been published) but only for tourism. However, this doesn't mean that the studies in Nepal and several other places are also wrong.
Sadly, I am also convinced that Pckts is not going to change his mind, and that is, I am afraid, a dead end.
"closed mind"
Because we want to stop stressing out wild animals, killing them for information that can easily be obtained through less stressful means. This is already proven and I am still waiting for any information that can benefit a Tiger via radio collar that cannot be retrived through camera traps.
Examples would be appreciated, please note, using migratory examples are not new and have already been monitored via camera traps. So outside of located a individual tiger for viewing or testing, what benefit can be gained through them that cannot be gained through camera traps, drones, photographers etc.
