Prime Intention of the Blog

"People without children would face a hopeless future; a country without trees and wildlife is almost as helpless".

I still remember my childhood days when I used to visit Dandeli a place where even my father started his professional career and also where my most of the relatives were staying.Even though I never brought up in Dandeli no one could stop me to go there since it was just two hours journey from my native. And during every visit I used to get the scoldings from my father and relatives since I used to spend most of the time in forests than in house.So as I grown up my visit to Dandeli became very less except twice or thrice in a year since I became busy with studies but always I had in my mind that I should contribute something to these magnificent forests which inspired me a lot to fall in love with the Conservation.So it is just an attempt from my side to create awareness to save these magnificent animals and landscapes they exist in.If this blog contributes in a small way to achieve this goal I will be the most happiest person in this world.
This blog mainly focuses towards conservation activities in and around Dandeli-Anshi Tiger Reserve.This blog doesn't provide any information regarding tourism and its related activities in and around Dandeli-Anshi Tiger Reserve.

Loss of habitat endangering king cobras

Neither fear nor awe has helped the king cobra. The world's longest venomous snake faces threats from various illegal activities in its home, the Western Ghats.


Experts, environmentalists and range forest officers from all over Karnataka revealed this at a two-day workshop that began here on Saturday to spread awareness of the ways to protect the endangered species.



B B Mallesha, director of the Dandeli-Anshi tiger reserve, explained that construction of dams, forest degradation, hunting and poaching, trade of skin for meat and medicines, mining and introduction of exotic species pose serious threats to king cobras. "Nearly 13 king cobras were rescued over the last three months in the region. So, we found it necessary to train our officers in conservation of king cobras. The officers who get trained here will, in turn, train villagers and people to rescue king cobras, which are considered a vulnerable species. We are planning to educate schoolchildren on conservation methods so that king cobras are saved for future generations.''



P Gowrishankar of the Kalinga Foundation, who has been conducting a research on king cobras for the last 12 years, said destruction of habitats is the key threat to them. "Hydel projects, developmental activities in the forest and fragmentation are the main threats to the species."



He, however, points out that people generally hold king cobras in reverence and, therefore, do not kill them on encountering them. "There is also a belief among farmers that if they see a king cobra in their fields, they can expect a bumper crop the next time.''



P R Manjunath, range forest office, Anashi wildlife range, has rescued seven king cobras since he assumed office last year. "It is a deadly venomous snake. We rescued seven from the Kadra village while looking for rat snakes."



G Raghavendra, a snake rescuer from Bangalore, said he had rescued eight king cobras in Kadra area near the Anashi range. "We should protect the species as they are endangered.''



Fact check



There is only one species of king cobras (ophiophagus)



They can grow up to 15ft in length



The average weight is 6-8 kg



King cobras primarily feed on other snakes and occasionally on monitor lizards



They are the only snakes in the world that build nests to lay eggs



They lay an average clutch of 22-50 eggs



Their lifespan is 30 years



King cobras are avid climbers

  6. People ask - why should the Dams on Zuari and Mhadei of the Goan Nigger Shit Skins be bombed ?

    Y ? dindooohindoo

    The DNA of a Goan

    Basically the Konkani/Goan race, is a pedigree of scum and filth which almost never existed (and so, with a dubious history)..There is no shit hole by the name of Konkana in the Mahabharata ! South India consisted of the following:

    There are other kingdoms, O bull of Bharata's race, in the south. They are the Dravidas, the Keralas, the Prachyas, the Mushikas, and the Vanavashikas; the Karanatakas, the Mahishakas, the Vikalpas, and also the Mushakas; the Jhillikas, the Kuntalas, the Saunridas, and the Nalakananas; the Kankutakas, the Cholas, and ...

    Some scholars believe that Konkan Scum, are described as Konwasiras, in the Mahabharata.

    Anusasana Parva - SECTION XXXVI

    The ...Konwasiras, ..............., have become degraded into the status of Sudras through the wrath of Brahmanas. In consequence of having disregarded the Brahmanas,the Asuras have been obliged to take refuge in the depths of the ocean

    So Goan Scum are basically a race of Asura filth - and that explains it all.

    Hence,it is easy to infer based on empirical proof and archaeological theology - that Goan Vermin are liars,cheaters,thieves,cowards and impotent limpdicks - and thus, to take a Goan Vermin, at face value, would be a cardinal sin

    That also explains the slave history of the Goan rats with the Tughlaqs,Mallik Ambar,Shivaji and the Portugese besides the Kadambas

    AND THAT IS ALSO WHAT IS SAID BY PRATAP RANE - A GOAN !

    https://www.indiatvnews.com/politics/national-pratapsingh-rane-controversial-remark-goans-abroad-do-toilet-cleaning-jobs-congress-rahul-gandhi-456890

  7. For some reason, we'll say we're talking about this in regard to Dietary Supplements. I can't expect there is not a decent alternative to Dietary Supplements. How long do you presume that has been going on? I'm usually very serious in connection with Dietary Supplements. I don't have pesos to burn. Although, let's get down to how to use Weight Loss. I knew that I have said that before.
