(IN) Help needed: Volunteer in Archiving ASIATIC LION NEWS on Asiatic Lion Group and on other wildlife conservation groups

[Guest guest]

Help needed: Kindly Volunteer in Archiving ASIATIC LION NEWS by finding it and

posting complete articles to our Asiatic Lion Group and on other wildlife

conservation related groups.

 

 

Dear Nature lovers from the Indian state of Gujarat and India, as well as nature

lovers from around the world who have internet access and some free time to

contribute towards critically endangered Asiatic lion, wildlife and habitat

conservation

 

Hello everyone as you might be already aware that the Asiatic lion existed in

southwest Asia and adjoining Europe but over the last few centuries

unfortunately it has gone EXTINCT everywhere, only the world's last few 300 odd

survive today in a single forest of India in the INDIAN state of Gujarat in Gir

Wildlife sanctuary.

 

I am here requesting you all when ever you all can take some time out for

conservation to kindly assist on an ongoing basis in finding and ARCHIVING of as

much as possible of the critically endangered Asiatic Lion related news coming

out of Gir Forest in INDIAN state of Gujarat presently their last home in the

world and from the Indian newspapers in general including news from Asiatic Lion

captive breeding program in India (Coordinated by CZA) or Europe (EEP) and yet

to start American (SSP), by posting to the ASIATIC LION GROUP on full

" complete news articles " on world's last critically endangered Asiatic Lions and

its habitat conservation with the original source information of articles you

find such as name, date and page of newspaper where news appeared, online news

web link to news item if available from the main website of Indian Newspapers

etc.. This will assist all current and future researchers, students, wildlife

and conservation managers and members of the media etc. to find Asiatic lion and

habitat conservation news all automatically archived (thanks to you all) in

group message archive of the much needed Asiatic Lion Group on and with

other wildlife related groups online where you choose to post.

 

Many of the important news articles appear only in Print editions of local

Indian and Gujarati newspapers many times in local Gujarati language. Even the

Asiatic Lion news that is posted by Indian and other newspapers on their

websites online may not remain forever and the web links linking to them go dead

after sometime, that is why all are encouraged to kindly post full news articles

to our and other wildlife groups online which automatically get archived in

their respective searchable messages archive and will always be available there.

 

Also by posting Asiatic Lion News to our publicly accessible Group and to others

online makes Asiatic Lion News more findable and searchable on the internet as

many groups like ours have chosen to make their messages accessible publicly.

By posting to various groups and making this news more available online in

searches, we help in our own little way to increase the awareness about the

world's last surviving Asiatic Lions and their conservation needs. This news

will also become available then to Wildlife and Asiatic Lion and lion related

website and Blog owners who can then in turn also make it available online on

their respective websites after finding much of it all archived with the Asiatic

Lion Group at one place. The more Asiatic Lion news is posted online the more

easily it will become accessible, findable and searchable online spreading

awareness about the critically endangered last few surviving Asiatic Lions on

the world wide web. This may in turn interest some media persons and journalists

and writers to write articles and books about Asiatic Lions, make films on them

and take up their study to help in conserving and managing them in the wild and

may also interest Zoos worldwide to acquire some on popular demand from children

further ensuring their survival and awareness about their urgent conservation

needs.

 

As Google and have come out with very useful free " NEWS SEARCH " and also

" NEWS ALERT SERVICE " , collecting and archiving most of the news posted online by

respective news paper companies etc. has become very very easy today, only we

should be available to volunteer some time. One can make a special free large

Email account like that available from Gmail (Gmail has a free large Email

account of 4Gb inbox and growing, it remains active even if we sign in once in 9

months) for this purpose and can make separate news alerts for " Gir lion " ,

" Asiatic Lion " , " Gir " , " Gir forest " , " Gir wildlife sanctuary " , " Amreli lion " ,

" Barda lion " and " Kuno Lion " , " Kuno " , " Kuno wildlife sanctuary " etc. in this

email account which will then send all news alerts generated with these words as

soon as a related news is posted online anywhere in the world to ones designated

email account (News Alert and Blog Alert samples of alerts generated and

received in my email account are attached at the end of this mail for

reference). (Please note if you only make an alert for the key word " lion " then

much of the news for African lion will also come with the alerts.) Many news

alerts however do not point to wildlife news related to Asiatic Lions and can be

about other news items in which these words may appear by chance, such

individual received news alert mails can be deleted. One can get to the main

news posted online at the original newspaper website by clicking on the News

alert link provided in the news alert generated and mailed to us in our email

account. Now a days at the news alert creating page in Google if you choose to

make a comprehensive alert it also sends to us Blog alerts of news and articles

posted by others on their personal blogs too.

 

I will also like to inform that I have made a special Gmail email account for

Asiatic Lion News Alerts on Google's GMAIL, responsible nature lovers,

wildlifers and naturalists who will not misuse my account are welcome to sign

into this Google Gmail account I created and sort through various alerts being

received daily and find genuine news from alerts being posted here, links in the

alerts take us to complete article posted by a newspaper company online on their

website, please copy full Asiatic Lion and wildlife conservation article from

there and post to our and related groups.

 

I suggest please sign in to the GMAIL email account I have created for Asiatic

Lion News with several news alerts already created for it:

 

Please go to Gmail.com, sign in with:

 

ASIATICLION.01(a)GMAIL.COM

Interested naturelovers can manage this email account collectively and post all

Asiatic Lion news to Asiatic Lion Group and to other groups; news alerts about

which are being sent here in the above email account on an ongoing basis. Due to

personal circumstances I am unable to contribute very much myself and request

all to combine our efforts kindly. There are two parts of each alert received in

our email account, first part is the links to actual Asiatic Lion and habitat

related news article and at the end a link the second part is to all news in

this category that looks like:

I also want to inform our national and international members that even though

newspaper website in other countries are paid websites and do not give access to

news without paying a fee, most Indian newspaper and magazines have free access

to all news articles and their archives year around. I will also like to

reassure all that copying entire news articles with proper crediting of source

information (and original weblinks to online news if available) and archiving

Asiatic Lion and related habitat news on our Asiatic Lion Group for non profit,

critique, research, conservation and wildlife management purposes does not mean

and can not mean we are in anyway breaking any copyright law in India or

internationally. Copying and posting/Archiving full news articles with proper

source for non commercial purpose and for the purpose of current and future

research dose not break any national or international copyright law. But we have

to make sure that the news is properly credited to newspaper etc where it

originally appeared, with as much information as possible with date, author and

newpaper name etc.. If we post news without crediting the source, that news is

no good for anybody as researchers today or even many years later will never use

uncredited news articles in their studies as they will want to check and make

sure no one has tempered with original news, if wanted researchers should always

be able to contact original newspaper office / website and verify the news

article and the news that appeared within, that the researcher found posted in

our Asiatic Lion Group message archive or elsewhere in a wildlife message

archive.

 

I also request all of us living in Gujarat to kindly help in locating and

translating from local Gujarati language full news articles to English (does not

have to be perfect English, as English is not our mother tongue and there is no

reason for us to feel embarrassed in any way if don't know English) when

required as these articles will never be available online and will get lost to

researchers and students otherwise, who on the other hand can if posted on our

Asiatic Lion Group can always find it in our searchable group message archive.

Many many news articles only appear in PRINT editions of Newspapers and

magazines inspite of these having online websites hence all living in India or

Gujarat are requested to cut these news clippings out from newspapers at home,

and whenever you get time even if weeks later kindly type these out and post

them on the group message board with all source information. Kindly remember to

and do scan and or file original paper cuttings that can be even years later

sent together and archived with an Asiatic Lion Conservation NGO is India at one

place.

 

I request all kindly specially those who can take out some time weekly on an

ongoing basis to always be on the lookout for Asiatic Lion, Gir and related

habitat conservation news from Gir Wildlife Sanctuary in the INDIAN state of

Gujarat (presently the last and only home to Asiatic Lions) and news from the

Kuno Wildlife Sanctuary in the neighbouring INDIAN state of Madhya Pradesh in

India where some Asiatic lions are soon to be reintroduced. You may find this

news online or in your local newspapers and magazines at home if living in

Gujarat or elsewhere in India. Kindly do post these Complete news articles in

their entirety with original source information on our following two Asiatic

Lion Groups on so that they get archived in our searchable messages and

Centre wants to shift lions outside state to save them from extinction

 

Tanvir A Siddiqui, Indian Express Newspapers

 

Posted online: Monday , November 26, 2007

 

Ahmedabad, November 25, 2007 The Centre is

contemplating shifting some of the lions from Gir to other parts in India.

Officials say the single population in Gir faces risk of extinction in the event

of any outbreak of virus or any other deadly disease. This is why the Gir lions,

the only remaining Asiatic lion species, should have habitats far and apart,

said Meena Gupta, Union Forest and Environment Secretary.

 

But the state government is opposing the proposal tooth and nail despite the

death of a number of lions in the region in the recent past due to reasons as

diverse as electrocution, or falling into a well.

 

Elsewhere, Gupta, who is now in Ahmedabad to attend an international

conference on environmental education, is convinced that the state government

will see logic in her arguments and give the matter more thought in the interest

of the survival of this rare species.

 

She said the Centre was optimistic about convincing the Gujarat

government about shifting some big cats from the Gir sanctuary to Kuno-Palpur in

Madhya Pradesh. In an informal chat during the fourth International Conference

on Environmental Education (ICEE) here on Sunday, Gupta said she was aware of

the fact that Gir being the only natural abode of Asiatic Lion in the world, it

was the USP of Gujarat as far as tourism was concerned. However, for the benefit

of these lions, it was necessary to shift some of them from Gujarat.

She said the Centre was hopeful of successfully setting up another reserve for

Asiatic Lions outside Gujarat.

 

Gupta said the Centre was in continuous correspondence with the state

government on the subject and the last exchange of letters took place about a

month back.

 

In the letter, the State Environment and Forest Minister Mangubhai Patel had

said that shifting of the lions out of Gujarat was not

necessary because the Gir environment was suitable for them and secondly, their

area was not limited.

 

Gupta said attempts to convince Gujarat on this have

so far not been successful, but the Centre was keeping its options open. If

shifting of some of these big cats did not materialise, then the animals would

be procured from other zoos and would be given a suitable environment to

multiply.

 

She further said the government was well aware of the difficulties involved with

shifting such large animals, but it was necessary for the sake of the survival

of the species. “We must think of the future when the space for them is going to

be limited, which would reduce possibility of expansion,” she said.

AND THEN THERE WERE NONE

 

Tuesday, November 06, 2007, The

Telegraph, Calcutta, India

 

Following the deaths of lions in Gir and a few other ‘protected’ animals, Mahesh

Rangarajan thinks of how best to reduce

the human-animal conflict in a country of a billion people

 

Human-animal conflicts seem endemic to India today. A leading newspaper recently

featured a schoolteacher who models himself

on the legendary Jim Corbett, and shoots man-eating leopards on government

licence (NOTE: STORY ATTACHED BELOW – ATUL S NISCHAL). Large carnivores are

often in conflict with cattle- or goat-owners, whose livelihood is under threat.

 

Conversely, revenge killings since the last four decades have

resorted to modern petro-chemical based poisons. More insidious, and probably

more endangering, is the conflict between humans — their industry or agriculture

— and the habitat that provides sustenance to wild animals.

 

Most so-called solutions actually temporize. Capturing or

culling an individual animal can only be a short-term remedy. It does not

resolve the more difficult issue of how human societies can or should co-exist,

if at all, with large-bodied wild animals.

 

The conflict is sharp with carnivorous animals. Predators are

especially vulnerable, being at the top of the food chain. They live at lower

densities. Each tiger or wolf requires substantial prey, and these in turn need

habitat. The issue is not of a basic, irreconcilable conflict between humans and

animals, but of living space and landscapes where the latter can survive in

stable populations.

 

It is no great surprise that this should increasingly be

difficult across Asia. The leading scholar of tigers in

the wild, K. Ullas Karanth, estimates that the species now survives in barely

seven per cent of its historic range. Expressed differently, there are 17 Asian

nations where there are no tigers left and just over a dozen where they still

survive.

 

 

The key issue now is that of the intensity of the conflicts, and

how they can be contained, decelerated or reversed. This applies not only to

species of the mature tree forest like the tiger but also to animals in scrubs

and lowland jungles, such as the wolf. The latter often come into sharper

conflicts. Reserves are rarely large enough to contain stable populations, and

domestic stock is easier at hand than wild prey.

 

 

One conventional way to conserve wildlife and minimize conflicts

with livelihood-based activity is that of seclusion. It sparks fierce clashes

with residents, as is evident in the delineation of rights under the new Forest

Rights Act. But handled in a sensitive and open manner, it can be converted into

a win-win situation. That this is rare is reason enough to think of how best to

do it.

 

 

The Bhadra Tiger Reserve in the Western Ghats is one place where the relocation

of villages away from the forest was voluntary.

The resettled people were given canal-irrigated command-area land of high value.

Voluntary groups like Wildlife First played a key role in ensuring that there

was accountability and transparency. The result was the creation of a

consolidated habitat for tigers and other wild species in a key tract of the

Western Ghats. Seclusion, however, is an exceptional strategy. Far larger areas

exist where such separation is not possible. This is even more pronounced with

lowland country predators like the wolf. It is also starkly evident in the

high mountain regions of the trans-Himalaya, home to the

snow leopard and wolf.

 

 

A key initiative in this regard has been the institute and

sustained insurance schemes that are timely and efficient. These can act as

disincentive to stock-owners who may poison, trap, maim or kill predators. In

the Kibber Valley in Himachal Pradesh, such schemes have worked for the better

part of the decade. The keystone to such an approach is to move to conservation

beyond parks. Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim and

Uttarakhand

have to come up with a strategy for the snow leopard that will have to be

different from that which can save the tiger. Snow leopards range over vast

territories but are rarely seen. Since they cannot be contained in a reserve,

the best bet is to decelerate conflict with resident peoples.

 

A third and more ambitious strategy has hardly been tried in India.

But it has precedents with the lion and cheetah in South Africa. It is simply to

re-wild the problem animals. The catch here is that the way it has sometimes

been done in India can worsen the situation. In Maharashtra, research by Vidya

Athreya and others led the forest department to rethink its policy of simply

transporting problem leopards to a few sites and setting them free.

These new sites saw a rise in conflict levels. There is also sufficient work to

show that such animals often simply head home.

 

What can be done, but only in a few cases, is to re-establish

stable populations in former range, once this is suitable in terms of prey and

habitat. The Kuno sanctuary in Madhya Pradesh can probably hold a small lion

population. Gir in Gujarat is only part of the range of Asia’s last lions. Many

of the big cats permanently reside outside the sanctuary and feed mostly on

cattle. These can easily be translocated, acclimatized and released in Kuno.

 

Yet, each of these responses, seclusion, incentives to reduce

conflict or re-wilding is site-specific. These cannot be applied without

reference to context and place, nor can they save each and every animal. Here,

animal rights a ctivists, who rightly focus on the dignity of animals, have to

ask how those who lose loved ones or stock feel about wild animals.

 

 

In turn, the securing of a life of dignity for those who are

under-privileged can and should be reconciled with the retention, not the

destruction, of habitats that can sustain ecological diversity. Nepal’s Chitwan

is a strictly protected reserve for rhinos and tigers. But it is now reinforced

by common property lands that have been re-wilded in return for a substantial

share of tourism revenues via the panchayats. The biologist, Eric Dinerstein,

even believes that such strategies can help restore large areas of habitat,

reconnect secure sanctuaries and replace a conflict

ridden scenario with one of cooperative conservation.

 

Yet protection seems a far cry when confronted with the reality

of conflict. Work, such as that of Wildlife First or the Nature Conservation

Foundation, has in it the seeds of a new approach. It seeks to avoid the Scylla

of animal rights where every animal matters. Instead, the focus is on

populations, species and habitats. This is a must in safe havens that will form

a small part of the larger land mass. But these in turn can only be secure

within a larger landscape.

 

It was never going to be easy to retain in the wild stable

populations of large vertebrates in a country of a billion people. It will be

even tougher with an economy growing at 9 per cent a year. But it might not be

impossible. As the forest departments in the hill states have shown with the

snow leopard, a new series of partnerships of science, community and

administration can defuse conflict. Approaches to tiger habitat in southern

India have also provided useful clues for the Tigers Forever programme of the

Wildlife Conservation Society.

 

Crises can be converted to opportunities. Conflicts are an

invitation to evolve models of conservation that work on the ground.
