Dear Dungriyal, I do not follow the logic. You claim to have studied the invasive charecters of Ageratum conyzoides that may be useful in the conservation plan of the Pench Tiger Reserve. A plant that is invasive to the extent of forming a monoculture. Is this not against the very idea of conservation? The Tiger and its habitat have evolved over centuries and your proposal would ensure the destruction of several local plants. I live at the edge of a forest and have seen the decimation of wild stretches by logging and planting of Teak. The animals have been deprived of their food. Today, the monkeys come into plantations to feed on the fruits planted and even to feed on ripe coffee. Had the forest department left even small stretches to the animals, this would not have happened. It is a sad story. regards Yazdy Palia.
