Description:
Currently working on a petition to garner support for a tiger habitat at the Mhadei Wildlife Sanctuary, Satteri, North Goa.We know that there have been a lot of causes and appeals floated on the net and perhaps one must have come across this one that didn’t seem any different. But this is serious and here’s the long overdue explanation. There is a dire need to protect our forests, its wildlife and habitat. Tiger numbers are dwindling across the country and Goa is not far behind. The recent episode of a tiger killing in the Mhadei Wildlife Sanctuary region is no longer a secret. It is a known fact that tigers have been spotted regularly in this region and are resident here, recent evidence proving the presence of a tigress and its cub. The Mhadei Wildlife Sanctuary is located in the Sattari taluka of North Goa. Spread over 208 sq km, this sanctuary is contiguous with the Bondla Wildlife Sanctuary, Bhagwan Mahaveer Wildlife Sanctuary, Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary, Netravali Wildlife Sanctuary all in Goa and the Anshi National Park in Karnataka which are part of the Western Ghats which in turn is regarded as one of the world’s top biodiversity hotspots. The presence of tigers in this region is an indicator of the health of our forest, the tiger being at the apex of the food chain. It is an asset to us and thus needs to be conserved. The survival of the Tiger in the Wild is crucial to the sustainability of our eco-system and in turn to man’s own survival. Our environmentalists, working in the Mhadei region, and adjacent forests, have been crying themselves hoarse for support from the state government to take steps in the protection and conservation of the tiger and its habitat. Goans all over the state have been voicing their angst too. Due to inaction from all agencies concerned and as a last resort, we the common collective are signing a petition to be sent to the Govt. of India. The said petition is available with the following eco groups/ persons:Nirmal Kulkarni / Earthworm/ PorvorimAjay Dongre /MITRA / PondaTallulah D’Silva, Arati Das/ Mission Green/ PanajiWe also have an online version at http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/mhadeitigerhabitat/2nd October – 8th October is celebrated as the National Wildlife Week, no better time than this to vouch our support for the same. You can do this by simply signing on either and ensure that you’ve taken the first step towards the protection of our forests, the Tiger and its habitat. It’s a simple, peaceful and positive step for a greater common good. For our children and for the survival of mankind.
