@JanjaWeed Isn't there a larger statue in Dharmasthala as well?

That is great. We can give Gujarat a run for their money then. Once a tree-hugger friend of mine wanted to take a bet with me about the survival of tigers in India. She was of the view that tigers would vanish in a decade, they were around 1700 then. I should have taken the bet, it would have been easy money. Now there are over 4000 tigers in India.
I saw one lion tailed macaque in Valparai and a family of otters in Silent Valley. That was such a rare sight.

Tigers are almost extinct in our part of the woods while Cheetahs are fairly common though. Anshi National Park, which is about 90kms from our place, has a dozen Tigers I believe.
They are being sighted now even in areas they were thought to have disappeared from. Wont be surprised if in a decade their population is not around 10,000.
It would be fantastic if their numbers reached 10K. India also needs to increase it's % of forest cover in order to provide greater space to them. I doubt, given the apathy we currently have towards our Forest treasure, anything concrete will be done in this regard(Although officially, we've actually increased our forest cover area marginally). Avoiding man-animal conflict should be the first priority though.
Yes, we should definitely try to set up a Lion conservation area in Karnataka. It's too dangerous to restrict them to one area alone.
Lion tailed Macaques used to be a frequent sight near my ancestral village too. Dunno what happened to them though, they've become quite rare there nowadays.

There was a plan to reintroduce Cheetahs in India some time back. Don't know what happened to that. A shame that they derive their name from Sanskrit and yet aren't in India any more.
