New books put wildlife under the spotlight

BANGALORE: A book on tiger conservation by tiger expert K. Ullas Karanth was released at the Kannada Sahitya Parishat here on Sunday. Titled “Kaadu Pranigala Jadinalli” and written in Kannada, the book was released by journalist and environmentalist Nagesh Hegde. It has been published by Navakarnataka Prakashana. Another book, “Kaadinolagondhu Jeeva”, written by T.S. Gopal, with a narrative by K.M. Chinappa, was also released.

Value of wildlife

Speaking about the book, Mr. Karanth said: “This book talks about the conservation of tigers. Tigers are more valuable than the Taj Mahal and Belur, because with the help of blueprints we can reconstruct these aesthetic buildings, but we cannot recreate tigers.”

Mr. Chinappa, a former Range Forest Officer at the Nagarhole National Park, said: “Everyone remains oblivious to the happenings that go on inside the forest.” “Kaadinolagondhu Jeeva” takes an inside look at what happens inside forests on a day-to-day basis, he said. “I am sure this book will be informative,” he added.
