As part of Wildlife Week, a Wildlife Conservation Awareness Programme will be held on October 3 at Malsi Zoo, Dehradun, which will be attended by public representatives, environmental experts, and citizens.

Good effort but I hope this isn't just another photo opportunity. We need concrete action plans to deal with leopard attacks in residential areas and crop damage by wild elephants. The government should focus on practical solutions.

Visiting Uttarakhand last year, I was amazed by the wildlife diversity. Initiatives like these are crucial for sustainable tourism. Hope other states follow this model of public engagement in conservation.

Human-wildlife coexistence is the need of the hour. In our village near Corbett, we've learned to live with elephants and tigers. The government should involve local communities more in these conservation programs.
