"There are 128 more unique tiger-captures in Central Indian Highlands and Eastern Ghats in 2022, compared to 2018. From the understanding of the region, I can safely say that MP and Maharashtra must have contributed in a big way to this increase." - WCT President @anishandheria

"Human-focused conservation stories don’t just help the cause of conservation, but also help us rid ourselves of apathy towards people who protect wildlife and ecosystems, bearing huge personal costs," writes WCT's Conservation Writer @rizwanmithawala wildlifeconservationtrust.org/on-writing-for…

An op-ed by @rizwanmithawala from @WCT_India on the lives of two forest guard couples gives an insight into how they serve nature in the remotest parts of India's tiger reserves mid-day.com/sunday-mid-day…

Controlling crowds and monitoring the movement of wildlife is all part of managing human-wildlife interactions and mitigating conflict. Killing a wild animal because people don’t heed to warnings is unjustified. #InTheNews nytimes.com/2022/08/14/wor…
