name the legendary indian hunter turned conservationist
Answers
Answer:Indeed, Jim Corbett National Park, which the hunter-turned-conservationist helped establish in what is now the Indian state of Uttaranchal, is home to one of only two genetically viable tiger populations in the entire country.
"We have managed to keep it that way," said Brijendra Singh, honorary warden of the reserve and a member of India's National Board of Wildlife, which is meeting today in Delhi to discuss the fate of India's tigers. "The main challenge we face is the encroach of population and the loss of habitat. We can deal with the poaching, but there have to be places [set aside] for tigers."
By the time Corbett helped establish the park in 1936 – the first national park in India – he already had a near-legendary reputation in the country as a man who would track down and kill man-eating tigers, those animals driven to despair by injury, hunger or whatever other urges, and which had turned upon humans. Between the years 1907 and 1938, usually hunting on foot and alone, Corbett hunted and killed at least a dozen such tigers, allegedly responsible for the deaths of more than 1,500 people. The first man-eater he shot – the Champawat tiger, of which he wrote with such passion and eloquence – was said to have killed more than 436 people.
