National parks are places dedicated to the protection of wildlife, forest cover, and, in certain cases, tribes and people whose lives depend around these woods. With human population growth and encroachment on forest cover, it has become critical to designate borders to safeguard our species from poaching and man-wildlife conflict. A significant amount of forest cover in and around Bangalore has been commercialized in recent years. One such example is a big high-rise structure built on the outskirts by a reputed constructor. Residents of the apartment complex have complained about seeing a leopard after dusk surrounding their buildings and have requested that the animal be relocated to the forest immediately. The structure is just two years old, yet the leopard has resided there for over five years. Who is to blame? Do you think the leopard should migrate, or do you think it's our fault? We will never understand this until someday we are evicted out of our homes for no reason at all and relocated to a unknown land.
If we didn't have national parks, we'd have riverfront and valley front homes and flats, and if a tiger came by, we'd want to get rid of it. As mncs now have a branch in Jim Corbett, cutting down trees in forest cover would become the norm. Rivers will be clogged with plastic debris, and there will be traffic jams because an elephant herd is crossing the road, and to avert their threat, we will confine them.
These creatures are hostile as a survival strategy, but they can't scream and complain as we can if their habitats are taken away. National parks and sanctuaries are established to safeguard them, secure their environment, and provide a voice for them.
