India's wildlife refuges

lundi 15 avril 2019 à 02:00

India's overpopulation has reached the point where there is a conflict between indigenous peoples (generally called "tribals" there) and wildlife refuges.

The human species is in no danger of extinction; some species living in those forests surely are. In principle, therefore, preventing extinction of species should take precedence.

Whether the humans and the wildlife can coexist in these forests, I don't know. That seems to be possible in some places. However, when human populations grow, they tend to wipe out some other forms of life and start changing the overall ecology — just as our ancestors did.
