The community and Government can indeed work hand in hand to protect our wildlife. This, in fact, is the only feasible long-term strategy to preserve our natural heritage.
Local communities are useful information resources. The fact that they live right in the biodiversity zone means they could serve as protectors and guardians of their own land. By properly training locals and creating employment opportunities for them, the locals' contribution can indeed be invaluable in the wake of shortage of manpower and resources in the forest departments.
The locals can be trained as guides, tourist helpers, naturalists, field guards- This way, the locals not only acknowledge the importance of their local wildlife, but also stand guard to protect it at all costs for their own survival depends on the natural heritage.
The Government can also seek local communities' help in another way. By helping rehabilitate poachers, hunters, and tribals, the Government can help check international wildlife trade which inevitably proceeds through the involvement of local communities. An informed community implies, aware guardians of the environment.
