Bengal or Indian Tigers were added to the list of endangered animals in 2010. Sadly, there have been five killings in India just this year. The unique skins ,which are like snowflakes in that no two are alike, bring a hefty price. Also, there are potions and medicines that are made from the tigers’ body parts.
Indians and their government take protection of their wildlife very seriously. The village of Ramdegi with 200 families relocated to return the land to the animals. Now there are antelope, bison, deer, boars and even a tiger that is roaming and drinking from the lake. The government gave incentives to move the village in order to limit human contact with these animals.
Remember the family in the village in Gir who lived with a tiny deer?

It is amazing to me that these people who are desperately poor by our standards are so caring to animal life! Check out my post on the Tiny Indian Squirrel from Agora near the Taj Mahal. https://talesalongtheway.com/2013/05/16/tiny-indian-squirrel/
I hope you will take time, if you are an animal lover, to watch the YouTube video. Lovely images of Indian village and life as well as the majestic tigers! Remember that jungle is a Hindi word.

I am pretty sure lions and tigers are all on animal preserves, but that village wan’t . Well we were all over India and only interacted with cows and ferrel dogs and cats. Not sure about elephants in the wild. Only cobras we saw were in baskets dancing to the flute music! What a wonderful place!!

Thanks so much , that is a beautiful place. Sadly, my architect would never go there, I don’t think. He is all about seeing buildings not mountains and animals! I will keep it in mind though! Appreciate it!

These relocations are part of setting up almost every 2nd wildlife sanctuary in India. Mumbai has a wildlife park which has high density of leopards. Human settlements share this wildlife park with these wild cats.
