It always pains to hear how tigers are disappearing from our forests but somehow I always make sure that I dont read these news articles, only so I can be in the make believe world and not cry within myself.
Anyways, coming back, fazalaliadil, DKG : am glad I read something like this on a Monday morning. I would love to participate and do what I can to protect our forests. Count me in for any activities planned. Thank you so much for the initiative and let your tribe grow.
PS : fazalaliadil : if you have more photos / videos, why dont you send them to CNN IBN . they might feature you as their Citizen Journalist and this could help gather more attention. | Neoranjit,
Headline: "Thirsty animals stray from forest"
Abstract Content: Animals from Nagarjunasagar Srisailam wildlife sanctuaries are migrating to surrounding areas and getting killed.
A Deer killed by village dogs, at Sunnipenta.
A Tiger killed by poachers, near Omkara temple, Atmakur Mandal.
Date: 4th July 09
Reported in Deccan Chronicle, Kurnool edition on 5th July 09.
Ironically, Hyderabad edition, Deccan Chronicle nor the TOI carried this news. We would have missed it too had we not night halted at Anantapur on our way back from Nagarahole.
This is the forest that I have been to and took pictures of cattle grazing and consuming water from waterholes meant for wildlife.
It was not surprising that a resident editor of a leading daily turned a deaf ear to my reporting of mass cattle grazing and also a reporter of the same daily who does wildlife related news, dilly dallying and giving excuses.
Read and make people aware of whats going on, whats the point in living in a make believe world, very soon you will need to wake up to realities.
Thank you for your interest and do not let it stop there, soon we will do things together I am sure for we owe it to them.
