what does Jim Corbett's attitude towards wildlife reveal about his character?
Answers
Answer:
Corbett bought his first camera in the late 1920s and—inspired by his friend Frederick Walter Champion—started to record tigers on cine film.[6] Although he had an intimate knowledge of the jungle, it was a demanding task to obtain good pictures, as the animals were exceedingly shy.
A popular misconception is that Corbett never killed a tiger without confirmation of its killing people.[7] For example, Corbett killed the unusually large and most widely sought after Bachelor of Powalgarh, even though this tiger had never killed a human.[8]
Corbett took to lecturing groups of schoolchildren about their natural heritage and the need to conserve forests and their wildlife.[citation needed] He promoted the foundation of the Association for the Preservation of Game in the United Provinces and the All-India Conference for the Preservation of Wildlife.[citation needed] Together with Champion, he played a key role in establishing India's first national park in the Kumaon Hills, the Hailey National Park, initially named after Lord Malcolm Hailey. The park was renamed in Corbett's honour in 1957.[9]
Corbett deeply empathized with the poor living in and around the Corbett village or Kaladhoongi in the United Province (now Uttrakhand).[citation needed] As a railway contractor, he employed scores of Indians at Mokameh Ghat.[citation needed] While dedicating his book My India to "...my friends, the poor of India", he writes "It is of these people, who are admittedly poor, and who are often described as 'India's starving millions', among whom I have lived and whom I love, that I shall endeavor to tell in the pages of this book, which I humbly dedicate to my friends, the poor of India."
Answer:
He had wandered through the jungles of the terai and bhabar in his childhood when there were ten tigers. Now after fifty years when he had spent thirty-two years in pursuit of man-eaters, he believes firmly that tiger is defamed and its evil character is emphasized in the society.
