I agree with Belinda Wright, Indira Gandhi was the only PM in the history of India who initiated work for environment protection: Ganga Action Plan, Project tiger, project crocodile etc. Some good work was followed on by Rajiv Gandhi. But since then, on this aspect, there has been a full stop. Many people dont know that cheetah has been wiped out already and tigers are on the brink of extinction. (I read the messages and saw what the priorities of the people were). Most poaching is done on the orders of the Chinese across the border who use tiger bones and body parts in Chinese medicines. And there are people who will decorate their homes with tiger skins and wear tiger claw bracelets. I wonder, if this issue has been taken up in India-China meetings.
