This is very disturbing, particularly the use of pesticides the effects of which are 100 times more dangerous, multifarious and prolonged than the traditional tricks like traps, sling shots and firearms. At least in fully protected areas like Chilka this should be dealt with strictly.

In many wetlands this problem occurs in a different form that these wetlands are contagious with Agricultural fields where pesticides are used. Dealing with this is probably the biggest challenge for wetland conservation.
