    OF CONTEMPORARY INDIA Catalogue No. 17 Of The Papers of Dr. M.K. Ranjitsinh Plot # 2, Rajiv Gandhi Education City, P.O. Rai, Sonepat – 131029, Haryana (India) Dr. M.K. Ranjitsinh India’s leading wild life conservationist, Dr. M. K. Ranjitsinh was born on 19 February 1938. He belongs to the royal family of Wankaner in Saurashtra, Gujarat. Educated at St. Stephen’s College in Delhi, he was selected for the Indian Administrative Service in 1961. As collector of Mandla (1967-1970) in Madhya Pradesh, he helped save the central Indian Barasingha from extinction. Transferred to Delhi in 1971 as deputy secretary of forests and wildlife in the Ministry of Food and Agriculture he was the prime architect of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 (subsequently associated with every significant amendment of it thereafter, even after retirement from government service in 1996). He was the first Director of Wildlife Preservation of India, 1973-75, and served for a second term, 1985-89. Dr. Ranjitsinh served as Regional Adviser in Nature Conservation (Asian Countries) for United Nations Environmental Programme at Bangkok, Thailand, 1975-1980. Back in India in January 1981, he was appointed Secretary, Forests and Tourism, and Commissioner, Bhopal Division, Madhya Pradesh. During his 4 year tenure, he established 14 new sanctuaries, 8 new national parks and more than doubled the area of 3 existing national parks, a total addition of over 9,000 sq. km. to the protected areas of the nation. As Commissioner of Bhopal in 1983, played a pivotal role in the aftermath of Bhopal gas tragedy. Mid 1985, he was moved to Delhi as joint secretary in the newly created Ministry of Environment and Forests and put in overall charge of Project Tiger.

    Wildlife Corridors in India

    Article Environmental Law Review 2016, Vol. 18(3) 205–223 ª The Author(s) 2016 Wildlife corridors in india: Reprints and permission: sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav Viable legal tools for 10.1177/1461452916662114 species conservation? elj.sagepub.com Raghav Srivastava and Richa Tyagi Senior Programme Officers, Centre for Environmental Law, Worldwide Fund for Nature – India Abstract Wildlife corridors, used by various species to migrate, breed and feed, are increasingly becoming relevant as essential tools for wildlife conservation. Rapid increase in industrial and infrastructural development, especially around forests, has resulted in widespread habitat fragmentation and isolation. Added to this, the growing development (for tourism, linear infrastructure etc.) around protected areas, and the altered de facto boundaries of these, have exacerbated this need. There is, however, no ‘hard’ statutory recognition afforded in India to wildlife corridors in spite of their established relevance in ecological conservation. Nor is there a strict prohibition on development within, and around important corridors in India. Even so, wildlife corridors have found passing mention in certain conservation law and guidelines framed thereunder, which seek to protect wildlife habitat and reduce human – wildlife conflict. These extant legal spaces have largely proved ineffective in the protection and conservation of corridors, and corridor protection and management continues to be a dormant legal space in India. This paper seeks to analyse the various barriers to corridor conservation and management, and whether the existing legal measures are underutilised in providing legal protection to wildlife corridors, without the need of a parallel institutional framework. Through an understanding of the criticality of corridors to wildlife conservation, the adequacy of existing legal structures has been examined by the authors, and recommendations made for augmenting the current legal framework with more concrete strategies.
