| Urban Wildlife: Legal Provisions for an interface zone - a case study | |
| 2011 Tigerpaper (38): 16-18 | |
Since ancient times, our philosophy has held that relations between nature and society and between biological diversity and human beings are critical for achieving the goals of conservation. Recently, we had an opportunity to study such an assemblage in a century-old club campus in the southern part of Kolkata, surrounded by a dense human population, where a healthy breeding population of jackals has been thriving for many years. We would like to convey our concern about habitually calling such assemblages "man-animal conflicts." The existing legal provisions dealing with such circumstances, under the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972, were also analyzed. |
