INDIA'S BEST COLLEGES, INSTITUTES and UNIVERSITIES
The dense forest region has always proved to be advantageous for the state of Karnataka. Although illegal trade of forest products has also flourished in the region, the forests have blessed the state with pleasant weather throughout the year. Recently Karnataka has also got the nod from the Central Government to declare Biligiri Ranganatha Temple Sanctuary as a tiger reserve forest, raising the total number of tiger reserves in the state to five. Nagarahole tiger reserve, Bandipur tiger reserve, Dandeli-Anshi tiger reserve and Bhadra tiger reserve are the four other reserve forests in the state. These forests, apart from being the tiger reserves, are also blessed with spectacular natural beauty and hence have been an asset for the state tourism department.
When an invigorated drive is on throughout the country to protect tigers in the backdrop of the recent tiger survey, it is indeed a matter of pride for the state to house the as many as five tiger reserve forests. But the question is: Are tigers actually safe in these reserve forests? Perhaps they are to an extent but continuous big cat deaths show that the animals are not completely safe and secure even here. Bannerghatta National Park which is situated on the outskirts of Bangalore, has witnessed the death of two lions, a tiger, two tiger cubs and that of a sloth bear within a week. Apart from these, many animals kept in the closures have also suffered serious stomach infection. Though the reason cited for the death of the lions and the tiger was “old age”, the cubs died of stomach infection caused by E-Coli and Salmonella Bacteria, according to the medical reports. According to the director, veterinarian service, Bannerghatta Biological Park, Dr. DB Chittiappa, the cause for the infection could be contaminated water or food.
Biligiri Ranganatha Temple Sanctuary or BR Hills, which is not very far from the bustling Bangalore, is also a hot tourist spot. In the absence of proper protective measures, the “reserved” forests are reserved just in name. “Human activity bothers the animals. The animals at Bannerghatta were unfortunate victims of poor waste management. The quality of food given to the animals should be good and it should be regularly monitored. Proper ventilation is also very important for the animals kept in closures. Here the animals do not get natural food; instead they get either poultry or beef,” said well-known environmentalist and former Indian Forest Service official Dr. AN Yellappa Reddy. But he is happy with the decision to declare BR hills a tiger reserve. “It is indeed a good decision to declare BR Hills a tiger reserve forest. As most of the people who inhabit this region are tribals, they know how to deal with animals. So I hope that won’t be a threat for the tigers,” he said.
