Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav said that Madhya Pradesh is abundant in wildlife, home to lions, tigers, cheetahs, sambhars, and elephants. He emphasized that every possible effort should be made for their welfare. Special attention should also be given to the well-being of elephants residing in the state's forests. Proper arrangements for their food should be ensured by developing grasslands, preventing them from straying into populated areas in search of food. This initiative will help mitigate crop damage for farmers and foster coexistence between humans and elephants instead of conflict. Dr. Yadav gave these directives while presiding over the 15th general meeting of the Madhya Pradesh Tiger Foundation Committee at Samatva Bhavan, located in the Chief Minister’s residence on Thursday. He stated that wildlife tourism will be further promoted in Madhya Pradesh. To achieve this, the state should seek guidance from the Central Government, the Central Zoo Authority, and other wildlife institutions to establish a wildlife rescue center-cum-zoo with enhanced facilities. Observing wildlife in their natural habitat is always an attraction for tourists, and efforts should be directed toward enhancing wildlife tourism in the state.The meeting was attended by members of the Madhya Pradesh Tiger Foundation Committee, including MLA Shri Hemant Khandelwal, Shri Mohan Nagar, other committee members, Additional Chief Secretary in the Chief Minister's Office Dr. Rajesh Rajoura, Additional Chief Secretary of Forest Shri Ashok Barnwal, Principal Chief Conservator of Forests, Chief Wildlife Warden, and other officials.
