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.

Your wildlife experience in India

He's trying his best, but in India a head of state doesn't wield that unlimited power to bring sweeping changes as in China. One of the biggest impediments to infrastructure development in India is the issue of land ownership. Government in India cannot force people out of their homes. I know of a case where a highway route had to be diverted because the farm owner refused to sell his land, which was getting in the way, to the government, even at good prices. Believe it or not, democracy is strong in India and that means it creates unnecessary impediments to a lot of development projects. For eg, a critical nuclear plant that was necessary to provide energy security has been stopped by so called green NGOs. Same with uranium mining in Srisailam tiger reserve. If the government tries to force something good, it is immediately met with resistance and is demonised by the foreign and Indian English media in the name of human rights. So projects remain in a perpetual development state. Things are changing now, but the process will take long it will never be meteoric like China, where the government can do anything it pleases.

On a related note, the Indian government has absolutely no economic incentive to save wildlife, but even then it does so out of its own goodwill. Hope it remains like that forever.
