Endangered wildlife of Lawachhara
Limit unbridled movement of traffic
( An increasing number of wild animals living in the Lawachhara National Park are being run over by vehicles plying on a road passing through the forest, according to a report in this newspaper. Why would a road be used for movement of heavy traffic in an area that enjoys the status of both a reserve forest and a national park and is home to various rare species of animals, birds and plants? And since the road cannot be relocated overnight, why aren't speed limits being enforced by the authorities as it should be in a reserve forest?
The semi-evergreen forest also has a rail line cutting through it. The whistle of trains and honking of buses, trucks and CNG-run auto rickshaws make wild animals nervous who come out at night in search of food and increase the risks of collision. To make matters worse, the road, zigzagged with frequent steep curves, has insufficient number of road signs warning vehicles. This is, however, only a part of the problem the animals of Lawachchara are facing. The depletion of natural resources continues unabated with trees being chopped off by vested quarters and land being grabbed by local influential people. A bus stop has been built inside the forest which disturbs the tranquility of the environment.
A national park is an area protected by the state for the enjoyment of the general public and the preservation of wildlife. Authorities should have a long-term plan to divert the road and the rail line away from Lawachhara. Meanwhile, the Wildlife (Conservation and Security) Act 2012 should be enforced to save the wild animals of Lawachhara National Park.)
