It is very good news that the Assam Cabinet has given its final approval for the sixth addition to Kaziranga National Park, which will significantly expand the protected area of the World Heritage Site by an additional 47,306.33 hectares. This significant move aims to strengthen wildlife conservation efforts and safeguard critical habitats in the region. Thanks to the amazing wildlife conservation efforts carried out in recent times, Kaziranga has seen an unprecedented increase in the number of animals of various species, many of them highly endangered and finding mention in Schedule 1 of the Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972. Many animal species in Kaziranga National Park have been experiencing space constraints, particularly with the growing population of one-horned rhinos, tigers, elephants and other species. This is leading to a severe overcrowding and competition for resources. It is in keeping this in view that the need has arisen for the National Park to expand its area, and efforts are being made by the Government of Assam to create and maintain animal corridors to facilitate movement between different habitats. Assam must take pride in the fact that the number of rhinos in Kaziranga had dwindled down to around 20 or so because of large-scale hunting by the British officers and tea planters during the last three decades of the 19th century, until Lady Curzon is said to have impressed the government to take steps to save the prehistoric pachyderm from extinction. Conservation, however, had suffered in between due to a surge in poaching activities, and it is in the past eight or nine years that the rhino has started feeling safe. But, on the flip side, an increase in the one-horned rhino population in Kaziranga has led to overcrowding and competition for resources like food and water. This must be happening with other species too, irrespective of whether they are carnivores or herbivores. The national park is experiencing a shortage of space, with rhinos confined to limited areas and facing competition from other animals like water buffalo and cattle. It is in this backdrop that Kaziranga National Park is being expanded, and efforts are underway to develop and maintain animal corridors. This will help animals move between different habitats and access new territories. Unfortunately, increased human activities, including the establishment of too many resorts, hotels, dhabas, petrol pumps, garages, etc., have not only created obstacles to animal movement but have also increased the risk of human-wildlife conflict. Repeated orders by the Green Tribunal, unfortunately, have not been able to create much positive impact. Animal corridors are crucial for facilitating movement between different habitats, especially during flood seasons or for seasonal migrations. The government's decision to construct flyovers to keep the animal corridors intact is a positive step, and these must be constructed as early as possible.
