How's this for skewered priorities: Over 617 national parks and wildlife sanctuaries that are home to several critically endangered species like the Great Indian Bustard and the Snow Leopard get a mere Rs.75 crore or Rs.1 lakh each per month, on an average, while the 43 reserves for the big cat get a whopping Rs.165 crore.

Going by the financial allocation for management of protected areas, each of the 102 national parks and 515 wildlife sanctuaries get only around Rs. 12 lakh annually - around Rs.1 lakh per month.

According to the environment ministry, this is despite a Planning Commission promise to double the allocation from the present Rs. 75 crore annual to Rs. 150 crore.

India's network of 664 protected areas extend over 4.9 percent of the country's geographical area. The network comprises 102 national parks, 515 wildlife sanctuaries, 47 conservation reserves - including 43 tiger reserves - and four community reserves.

"At present, we only get around Rs. 75 crore annually for managing 617 protected areas across all states," a senior environment ministry official told IANS on condition of anonymity.


I HOPE IT WILL BE HELPFUL TO YOU.
