Kudremukh National Park Karnataka

The British Government declared Kudremukh region as a Reserved Forest in 1916, to stop rampant slash and burn cultivation practices from penetrating deeper into the Ghats. Well known environmentalist and Tiger expert Dr. Ullas Karanth, undertook a detailed and systematic survey of the distribution of the endangered Lion Tailed Macaque in Karnataka during 1983-84 with support from Government of Karnataka. He observed that suitable and extensive rainforest habitat for Lion-tailed Macaque existed in Kudremukh and that the tract probably harbored the largest contiguous population of lion tailed macaques in the Western Ghats outside the Malabar region. He further suggested that Lion Tailed Macaques could be effectively used as a 'flagship' species to conserve the entire biotic community in the region and prepared a conservation plan for survival of wild population of Lion Tailed Macaques in the region delineating the present national park area as a proposed nature reserve. Based on his report, the Karnataka State Wildlife Advisory Board suggested to the Government that Kudremukh National Park be created. Subsequently, the first notification of the Kudremukh National Park was issued. In 1987, the Government of Karnataka declared these Reserved Forests as a National Park based on the above suggestion.The region of 145 sq km of Someshwara Wild Life Sanctuary and 345 sq km of Mookambika Wild Life sanctuary is also part of the Kudremukh National Park wild life area.

Kudremukh also spelled Kuduremukha is a mountain range in Chikkamagaluru district, in Karnataka, India. It is also the name of a small town situated near the mountain, about 48 kilometers from Karkala and about 20 kilometers from Kalsa. The name Kuduremukha (as it is known by the natives) literally means 'horse-face' (in the local language Kannada) and refers to a particular picturesque view of a side of the mountain that resembles the same.

The town of Kudremukh is primarily an iron ore mining town where the government run Public Sector Kudremukh Iron Ore Company Ltd. (KIOCL) operates. It is noted for its scenic beauty. Owing to the dense forests, sighting wildlife can be challenging, though the area is rich in wildlife. Nonetheless the drive through the forest ranges can be enchanting and exhilarating. Three important rivers, the Tunga, the Bhadra and the Nethravathi are said to have their origin here. A shrine of goddess Bhagavathi and a Varaha image, 1.8 m within a cave are the main attractions.A diverse assemblage of endangered large mammals is found in the park supporting three large mammal predator species Tiger, Leopard and Wild Dogs. The important Tiger prey base found within the Park is Gaur, Sambar, Wild Pig, Muntjac, Chevrotain, Bonnet Macaque, Common Langur and the Lion Tailed Macaque.The wet climate and the tremendous water retentive capacity of the shola grasslands and forests has led to the formation of thousands of perennial streams in the region converging to form three major rivers of the region, Tunga, Bhadra and Nethravathi that form an important lifeline for the people of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.

Wounding of Earth Going On ! How ? See It !

EARTH IS COLLAPSED !
What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain.. .
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores?
What have we done to the world
Look what we've done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son...
What about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores

Why Can't We Restore Broken Ecology & Environment ?

Birds are keystone species for number of 

trees, shrubs and bushes. If such greenery vanishes from the surface of the earth due to 

wide and extensive exploitation it will lead to havoc in terms of extermination of number of animals including human race.

Let us protect our natural environment by restoring it back by developing it in a consistent and coherrent manner. The question is who will lead first ? Are political leaders doing something about it ?

Why can't we "Restore Back Lost Ecology & Ecosystems"

Earth is exploited at every nook and corner. Repair the torn apart pieces with development of natural resources bringing back the original ecology & lost ecosystems. Which can be only done by contributing your land, labor & capital and with efforts to take soil & moisture conservation along with afforestation keeping the environment clean free from all of pollution. Nature is very beutiful until it is protected and preserved. We have only done harm to the nature and exploited it for our selfish means but we have not learnt to repair, develop and maintain it so far. It requires decipline and our understanding in toto about restoration of the bronken linkages of the dead ecosystems .

Can't We Generate Power Locally ?

Wherever we find "gravity flow of water" in small streams why can't we install a small locally made turbine machine so as to operate it with running water and generated electricity at the local level in each potential village. Such spots are plenty in rural India specifically in valleys and mountains.
