After tigress, cubs & monkeys, 20 peacocks die in K’taka: Report
In a shocking turn of events, Karnataka has witnessed yet another unusual spate of animal deaths, with 20 peacocks found dead on a farmland in Hanumanthapura village. This latest incident follows the recent deaths of a tigress, her four cubs, and a group of monkeys in the state.
According to reports, the 20 peacocks were discovered dead on a farmland in Hanumanthapura village, with officials from the forest department inspecting the site and collecting the carcasses for further examination. The cause of death is yet to be determined, but the sudden and mysterious demise of these beautiful birds has raised concerns about the well-being of wildlife in the state.
This latest incident is not an isolated one, as Karnataka has seen a string of animal deaths in recent weeks. Earlier this month, a tigress and her four cubs were found dead in Male Mahadeshwara Hills, with forest minister Eshwar Khandre ordering an investigation into the “unnatural death” of the animals.
The deaths of the tigress and her cubs sent shockwaves across the state, with wildlife experts and conservationists expressing concern about the declining population of tigers in Karnataka. The tigress was believed to be around five years old, and her death has left a huge gap in the tiger population of the state.
In addition to the tigress and her cubs, a group of monkeys was also found dead in the same region, sparking fears about the spread of disease or some other unknown factor contributing to the deaths.
The sudden and mysterious deaths of these animals have raised questions about the health of Karnataka’s wildlife, and whether there are any underlying factors contributing to these tragedies. Wildlife experts have pointed out that the state’s forests are under threat due to human activities such as deforestation, poaching, and habitat destruction, which can disrupt the delicate balance of the ecosystem and lead to the decline of wildlife populations.
The state’s forest department has launched an investigation into the deaths of the peacocks, and officials are working to determine the cause of death. Meanwhile, conservationists and wildlife experts are calling for immediate action to protect the state’s wildlife and prevent further tragedies.
In a statement, forest minister Eshwar Khandre said that the state government is taking the matter seriously and is working to determine the cause of death. “We are conducting a thorough investigation into the deaths of the peacocks and other animals. We are also working to ensure that the forest ecosystem is protected and that the state’s wildlife is safe,” he said.
The deaths of these animals are a stark reminder of the importance of conservation and the need to protect Karnataka’s wildlife. The state is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, and it is essential that we take immediate action to protect and preserve these natural resources.
As the investigation into the deaths of the peacocks and other animals continues, it is clear that there is much work to be done to protect Karnataka’s wildlife. From protecting forests and habitats to preventing poaching and disease, there are many factors that contribute to the decline of wildlife populations.
In conclusion, the deaths of these 20 peacocks in Karnataka are a stark reminder of the fragility of the natural world and the need for immediate action to protect wildlife. As we work to determine the cause of these deaths, it is essential that we also take a step back and reflect on the bigger picture – the importance of conservation and the need to protect Karnataka’s wildlife for future generations.
