FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Conservationist Ajay Dube had complained to the court that authorities in
several states had allowed the construction of hotels, wildlife resorts and
shops in the core areas of the forest reserves.
He told the court that critical tiger habitats should be kept safe from all
types of human disturbances, including tourism.
In April, the court had ordered eight states to declare buffer zones around
the tiger reserves within three months. Only two states had complied with
the court ruling, prompting the judges to impose a fine on the remaining six.
The ban on tourism in the “core” tiger habitat areas of the reserves
set off protests from tour and travel operators who say stopping tourism
will encourage illegal wildlife trafficking as poachers will not be hindered
by the presence of tourists.
Travel Operators for Tigers, a travel trade grouping, said tigers were safer
in reserves that were visited by large numbers of tourists.
“The highest densities of tigers can be found today in the most heavily
visited tiger reserves,” said a statement from the group. “Unseen
and unloved” wildlife sanctuaries and forests lost all their tigers and
wildlife to poaching, grazing and neglect, it said.
The ban on hotels in the core areas of the tiger reserves will hit the holiday
plans of hundreds of tourists who have booked rooms to stay in the forest.
They will have to move to hotels and resorts outside the reserves.
