Ranthambore Tiger Reserve Forest and Environment Minister Hemaram Chaudhary to stop full-day and half-day safari in Ranthambore National Park. This Government order is a very bold step and freaking wildlife people are considering that as this step will bring good changes to wild animals and they will get a break from the disturbance of the people.
All this in Ranthambore in the last four-five years had led to gypsies running free, loud cameras making constant noise, and unwanted interference. As a result, tension among the tigers was increasing and their behavior was becoming increasingly aggressive. Considering of tigers were diminishing, as human involvement enhanced in the woodland area, and tigers begin emerging too often from the forest area. In reality, they probably had nothing to do with protecting forests and wildlife. During these 4-5 years, there was a demand to close the half-day and full-day safaris in Ranthambore, but the command in the facade of the hotel lobby was repressed.
Human interference bothers tigers and the conflict between humans and tigers will automatically decrease. Tigers were annoyed with the human excessive indulgence in the forest which makes tigers leave the place and they kept themselves in isolation. Tigers all that want a safe and peaceful place for them.
Despite the political pressure of the hotel lobby, the state government finally understood the importance of wildlife and decided to close the full-day and half-day safaris. Minister Hemaram Chaudhary signed the file to stop full-day and half-day Safaris in Ranthambore, and Principal Secretary Shikhar Agarwal was instructed to implement the orders immediately.
As a result of this order, wildlife lovers are experiencing a wave of happiness. It has been demanded from the state government that the decision taken in Ranthambore, which is fast becoming a city wildlife tourism hub, also be implemented in Jhalana and Amagarh Leopard Safari in Jaipur. Due to the high number and density of leopards here as well, half-day and full-day safaris should be closed to protect the wildlife’s interests.
Full-day safari and half-day safari have always not been in good light but due to some politicians, this system was generated. This resulted in direct benefit to a few hotels operator who all kept charging double safari charges.
Wildlife was under a lot of stress due to this and this situation has led a few people to rule the forest. Such cases have made the forest department think out of the box and make safe wildlife. Tigers were out of control and they were not taking a keen interest in human presence in the forest.
