“We work for the conservation of tigers and their habitat. We also train the forest staff for anti-poaching activities and prosecution which is one of our main aims. Development versus conservation is the new ethos which is a big challenge for the Government as well as the Department. We need a sustained policy on tourism.

These are a few reasons which we need to correct or else 146 might double up in the next year.”
