A Look at Wildlife Management in India
TLDR
The effect of management in Kanha National Park, where the bans on stock grazing and tree felling and the removal of villages have benefited two endangered species, shows the need for more study and understanding of the large herbivores in order to manage the park successfully.Abstract:
