How close is close enough? Clip from aTR this weekend. Will this lead to familiarity between these two apex predators with tragic consequences later?Time to understand that proximity & closeness r not the same. Let’s be sensitivity to the space required for this majestic animal. pic.twitter.com/jXUAoZyYqo

#Tiger is a secretive animal, prefers isolation, lives a calm life. One must observe the beauty of composure, thoughtfulness and gravitas in his demeanour. One won’t be able to see it from a close proximity. It is disrespectful to go too close to this ‘monk’. #MyTakeOnTigers https://t.co/ZNfswZlcco

As a regular safari visitor, couldn’t help feel guilty over the weekend at Ranthambore . We saw (temporarily) unaccompanied Cubs and the discomfort/fright in the presence of jeeps. Their gay abandon the following day in presence of their mother drove home the point further.

When the pressure is on for signtings, ethics are often compromised. Habituation results, which is definitely detrimental for the animals. We need an urgent rethink on how tourism is handled in wildlife reserves.

I always think- why is every photographer crazy about photographing and video-graphing the apex species so desperately that he/she is willing to compromise every rule of conservation! The good images already clicked should suffice the greed of many, may b it’s time to ban ? ?
