Manik Saha, the chief minister of Tripura, has instructed forest officials to carry out an extensive investigation in order to identify the reasons for the state’s vulture extinction. The decision was given at a State Wildlife Board review meeting that took place in the Secretariat Conference Hall. Saha called on authorities to take aggressive steps to preserve forest resources and emphasized the need of protecting endangered species. “The forest department needs to carry out a thorough investigation to ascertain the causes of the endangered vulture’s decline in the state,” he stated, adding that different approaches ought to be used to address conflicts between people and wildlife, especially the growing annoyance of wild elephants in residential areas.
The Chief Minister also emphasized Tripura’s ecotourism growth and urged officials to come up with creative strategies to draw in both domestic and foreign visitors. In the state’s national parks and sanctuaries, he suggested introducing an elephant safari, saying that such projects would not only increase tourism but also provide jobs for tribal communities. Saha emphasized the significance of providing elephants with a sufficient amount of food in order to avoid confrontation with human settlements and urged locals to get involved in promoting tourism. Discussions on a number of initiatives to improve the state’s animal conservation efforts and boost Tripura’s tourism potential through its forests and biodiversity took place at the review conference.
