Holistic perspective is missing. Declaring a Wildlife Sanctuary, National Park or Tiger Reserve is one part of the story. Enforcement is another. Relocation of villages from the forests is yet another story. Neither the funds allocation from the finance ministry is sufficient, nor strong will power to relocated villages is displayed by the forest department. So poaching continues.

Some NGOs talk of creating hospitals, schools etc inside the forest for the villagers. Once these things happen, there wont be any incentive for the villagers to relocate. The villagers as of now have some incentive to shift to towns to avail better medical and education facilities. Else, we will create concrete jungles inside the forest and further fragmenting the habitat.

Without strong enforcement, some of the villagers who had relocated return back to the forest. Just appeasing the villagers and appealing to their sensibilities and asking them not to poach wildlife is not enough.

In Sariska the last of the tigers were poached by the villagers. One of them testified that he had to buy a milch cow and needed money. His brother-in-law promised him 8000 rupees and hence he agreed to help him in setting up the snare for the tiger and when the tiger got caught in the snare, then went and killed the helpless tiger.
