Question

This past decade has witnessed a surge in wildlife tourism that has doubled and

tripled the tourist load in several of the more accessible national parks and reserves.But serious infrastructural shortcomings have brought us precariously close to a

breakdown of the ecosystem‘s capacity to absorb this load. The result is an

unsatisfactory tourist experience (and an opportunity to impart conservation values

lost), overworked, pressurized and confused wildlife staff, and occasional mananimal

confrontation crisis such as man-killing by tigers. Not to speak of the

ecosystem that is being battered by humans. A road area, which accommodated four

vehicles a day, ten years ago, is now being used by 12 a day. A collision of interests

is inevitable. An important function of wildlife refuges is to encourage

tourismrecognising that it forms an ideal ―hands-on method of orienting, educating

and winning the hearts and minds of the general public over to conservation values

and concepts. This can only be achieved by communication with tourists before and

during their visits to a wildlife refuge. The interpretation as it is generally referred to,

is properly done by having an interpretation centre, consisting of photographic,

written and audio-visual exhibits supplemented by free or priced literature and a

person on hand to answer the queries of visitors. Tourists should perforce be routed

through this facility by the simple expedient they have some time to see it while their

entry permits are being prepared. The general message should be the history of the

wildlife refuge as a conservation microcosm, interesting facts of some of the species

it supports,and an explanation of the mechanics of an ecosystem and its relevance

to man, plus codes of conduct specific to the area and to wildlife and jungles in

general. This should be backed up by a cadre of trained naturalist guides, preferably

from the local population, who should accompany the tourists in the refuge. In some

of our wildlife refuge, very poor facilities for this sort of thing exist. In most, none exist

at all. The result is tourist traffic, which is generally quite ignorant of wildlife, ecology

and conservation values, who leave the refuge no wiser than when they came in.​
