Kanha and Sundarbans Tiger Reserves. Their resort abutting Kanha is named Kipling camp, after the gifted writer who at the same time was a white supremacist who justified the Jallianwala Bag massacre. Tiger Reserves was the brainchild of the World Wildlife Fund and Prince Philip, the husband of Queen Elizabeth was one of its founders. It is no surprise then that several members of the Wright family have been recognized by the Bnitish royal family with titles like the Order of the British Empire.
British shooting preserves
While gullible Indians have been happily dancing to the tunes of our ex-colonial masters and banning hunting throughout the country, Britain itself is full of shooting estates and continues to lose wildlife, especially the birds to this day. Private landowners employ gamekeepers to prevent poaching, to rear and release game birds such as common pheasants and French partridge, manage wild red grouse, and to control predators such as raptors. This predator control has resulted in the extinction of a number of species of birds of prey over the last two centuries, these include: White-tailed eagle, Westem marsh harrier, Red kite, Osprey and Northern goshawk. Some 12,300 wild mammals and birds are killed on UK shooting estates every day by the gamekeepers playing a key role in the destruction of wildlife.
