PM Modi’s Message on Wildlife Conservation
Before heading to the sanctuary, PM Modi shared a video on social media platform X. He wrote:
"On World Wildlife Day, let us reiterate our commitment to protect and preserve the incredible biodiversity of our planet. Every species plays an important role - let's protect their future for generations to come! We are also proud of India's contribution to the conservation and protection of wildlife."
The post was accompanied by a video clip from 2023, in which PM Modi spoke about India’s natural urge towards biodiversity conservation. The clip is from his speech during the ‘Commemoration of 50 Years of Project Tiger’ program in Mysore, Karnataka.
India’s Commitment to Wildlife Conservation
Addressing global concerns about the rising tiger population in India compared to other countries where tiger numbers are either stable or declining, PM Modi reiterated:
"India does not believe in the conflict between ecology and economy, but gives equal importance to the co-existence of both."
