Migration & Human Interface Tiger Nagpur Maharashtra (Pench Tiger Reserve) Mitigation Measure

Описание: The highway going through Pench is part of a 117-km, four-lane expansion programme of the NH44 that was undertaken in 2010. Constructing the stretch through the forests took four years and was completed in 2019. The Pench sanctuary — a wildlife habitat that set the backdrop for Rudyard Kipling's fictional masterpiece, The Jungle Book — is spread across 741 sq.km in Maharashtra and 1,180 sq.km in Madhya Pradesh.
Mitigation measures to avoid animal-human clash as a nation improves its infrastructure come with a steep cost. Take the case of a proposed 36-km state road between Mul and Chandrapur near Nagpur that passes through a protected forest.
