Supreme Court orders Uttarakhand to restore Corbett Tiger Reserve
Change
The Supreme Court ordered Uttarakhand to restore Corbett Tiger Reserve, requiring a restoration plan in two months, demolition of illegal constructions in three months, a compliance affidavit in one year, and restrictions on tiger safaris.
Why it matters
The State must consult the Central Empowered Committee and submit a restoration plan for Corbett Tiger Reserve within two months. Demolition of illegal constructions in the reserve must begin within three months. A compliance affidavit must be filed in the Supreme Court within one year. Tiger safaris are prohibited in core and critical tiger habitat areas and are permitted only on non-forest land or degraded forest land in buffer areas that are not part of a tiger corridor, and only when associated with a full rescue and rehabilitation centre; earnings must be ploughed back into tiger conservation.
Implications
- • State forest and reserve management must prepare and deliver a restoration plan within the two-month deadline.
- • Demolition teams and administrative units must schedule and commence removal of illegal constructions within three months.
