Now Ranthambore faces destruction due to mining and river bridge

A new road being build over River Banas in Ranthamore park and mining by villagers near Bhadlaw threatens to destroy widlife habitat in the area
Apparently forest guards know about the mining activity and not much has been done to prevent the destruction.
Ranthambore has been one of the few success stories of tiger conservation in India and as with the recent cases of proposed mining around Tadoba and a road project through Pench national park, these activities around a national park create havoc with wildlife habitats.
