Conservation: The Wright path

Belinda Wright, leading lady when it comes to wildlife protection in India and the Executive Director of Wildlife Protection Society of India addresses a few conservation conundrums for TSI

Would tourism have to bail out wildlife today?

Tourism is a double-edged sword. It’s important as a revenue earner and it also helps to expose more people to wildlife and raise awareness for their conservation. But at the same time too much tourism damages and disturbs the wildlife. What we need is some core areas where wild animals can live without human interference.

Will Sariska make it?

I think it will, although the problems it faces, including the large number of pilgrims and villages inside the park, the highways and mining activity, are all serious and require attention. But I think that a lot of people are genuinely trying to save Sariska.

Is it possible to rehabilitate criminal tribes like Pardhis and Bawariyas?

That’s tricky. These tribes are very secretive and almost completely illiterate. They distrust outsiders and one of the few things that they are really good at is hunting wild animals. Although we have been able to convince some of them to become informers, I don’t think they would be willing to change their ways just like that.

Should we allow controlled hunting of some species (as some other countries do), whose numbers are becoming unmanageable?

I don’t believe we need to emulate that. We are faltering in our conservation and anti-poaching efforts as it is and if we allow hunting, however controlled, it has a very good chance of spiraling out of control. I think we should stick to compensation and relocation to manage large numbers China is the biggest market for illegal animal products from the world over. Is there anything that we can do?

We can certainly apply a lot more diplomatic pressure and increase vigilance. But the fact remains that China represents a very real danger to India’s wildlife.
