Mysore/Mysuru: Attributing the dwindling of forests to growth in human population, titular head of erstwhile Mysuru Royal Family Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar said that Conservation of Wildlife and Forests is important for maintaining the balance of nature.
He was speaking after inaugurating People for Forest and Wildlife Conservation of Karnataka (PFWCK) organisation at Rani Bahadur auditorium on Hunsur Road here this morning. Noting that forest wealth and wildlife sustained naturally as there was less human population centuries ago, Yaduveer contended that plant species such as Neelagiri, Lantana and Parthenium were detrimental to the growth of forests.
