Prospects for India's Wildlife

Futehally Z. 1977. Prospects for India's Wildlife. Parks. 2(1):10-11

The status of a country's wildlife depends primarily on the government's national policy. Fortunately our government has decided that India will be much the poorer both spiritually and materially if its wildlife is allowed to collapse. So although there is no denying that there is conflict in several areas between the immediate interests of humanity and wild animals, the administration is trying its best to contain it, in the hope that in the long run this policy will be wholly beneficial for the people. The Indian Board for Wildlife, the National Committee on Environmental Planning and Coordination, and the Steering Committee on Project Tiger are all trying to ensure that the interests of wildlife are not disregarded in our development plans.
