Meat can no longer be protected as a personal choice. If your meat is going to destroy my health and our environment, you ought to have to pay for it. - Maneka Gandhi

If there are 500 tigers left in India, I'd be surprised. They are even skinning the tigers in Indian zoos.

In India, no power plant runs beyond 58 per cent of its capacity. I believe instead of making yet another plant which is really disastrous, what you should do first is to go in for conservation - that is increase your 58 per cent to 90 per cent. Your power problem would be solved right there.

One problem is the destruction of the habitat, and the second is this constant catching of elephants for training, for tourism or logging. And this training that we are doing is the most brutal, primitive and stupid in the whole world.
