In a recent webinar held on hospitality in Nagpur, experts believe that hotel industry is looking at sea change in the way it operates post lockdown. Although the current time is tough, both the overall economy and hospitality sector will bounce within a year, opined the experts.

  The year 2020 brought us a wave of fear, uncertainty, and closure. As the world is reeling under the dreaded pandemic, we are watching our economies and lives going for a toss. Our daily routine has come to a standstill. Although we are taking necessary precautions for the safety of the virus, we have also learned a few lessons with new experiences. Our faith in humanity, respect for each other, preserving our resources and environment has been restored. We are now more connected to each other while showing our unity and assistance towards overcoming the virus. This lockdown, it has given us a chance to ponder. While we are in quarantine, we can see many animals roaming on empty roads and clear skies owing to less pollution of vehicles. This lockdown has made us realized the importance of the outdoors which we easily take for granted and make them messy. We ensure that our homes are clean, but our surroundings are dirty. Although, in most of the places, efforts have been taken for cl

  Although we are facing the pandemic and the state is under lockdown, we have the fighting spirit to break the chain and overcome the virus. While people are under quarantine, animals are finding their ways into human areas which has been witnessed in various cities of India. Although the human-animal conflict has been highlighted many times, such sightings melts our hearts. However, care is taken by many people to preserve animal’s natural habitat from zoos and national parks. Many sanctuaries and reserves have been enhancing the ecosystem in a better way. While we talk about these sanctuaries, we can immediately relate it to safaris or jungle tours. Forest department and conservation authority have been maintaining these reserves through its continuous upgradation and maintenance. Hence, safaris here are enjoyable. We can see animals moving in open spaces which creates lot of excitement. However, we need to follow the rules of these safaris and understand that it is their habitat an

जंगलातील मोठे मांजर ज्याला म्हंटले जाते अशा वाघाने जंगलात डरकाळी फोडली किंवा त्याची झलक जरी दिसली तरीही जंगल सफारीवर असणाऱ्या लोकांची एक्साइटमेंट, कुजबुज किंवा आवाज वाढतो. तथापि, जेव्हा वाघ दिसतो तेव्हा सर्व खूप उत्साही होतात आणि त्याचे फोटोज काढू लागतात. एखाद्या प्राण्याला प्राणीसंग्रहालयात पाहण्यापेक्षा थेट जंगलात पाहणे हे अधिक मनमोहक असते. पण जेव्हा आपण जंगलात त्यांना पाहण्यासाठी त्यांच्या हद्दीत प्रवेश करतो तेव्हा आपण त्यांच्या क्षेत्राचे सर्व नियम पाळले पाहिजेत. आपण त्यांचे वातावरण आणि त्यांची मोकळीक स्वीकारणे आवश्यक आहे. काही वर्षांपूर्वी सुरू झालेला मानव-प्राणी संघर्ष हळूहळू नियंत्रित झाला आहे. जंगल वाढविण्यासाठी आणि प्राण्यांची जागा टिकवण्यासाठी अनेक प्रयत्न केले जात आहेत. जंगलाचा राजा सिंहाप्रमाणेच वाघ हा सुद्धा एक अतिशय सुंदर असा प्राणी आहे. वाघ हा भारताचा राष्ट्रीय प्राणी असल्याने आपल्याला त्याच्याविषयी काही तथ्य समजून घेणे आवश्यक आहे. वाघ एका पंजाने ही माणसाला मारू शकतो. वाघाशी पंगा घेण्याऐवजी मनुष्याने त्याच्या सौंदर्याविषयी अधिक जाणून घेणे आवश्यक आहे. त्याच्या सौंदर्य

जंगल सफारी,   प्राणिसंग्रहालय आणि वन्यजीव अभयारण्ये  ही प्रत्येक पालकांनी आपल्या मुलांना घेऊन जावे असे हॉटस्पॉट ठरत आहेत. लहानपणी कल्पनारम्य कथांमध्ये ऐकताना तसेच प्राण्यांविषयी शिकताना त्या प्राण्यांना डोळ्यासमोर बघण्याची अनेकांची इच्छा असते. पण विचार करा, आपण लहानपणापासून वाचत आलेले, बघत आलेले किंवा शिकत आलेले हे प्राणी गायब होऊ लागले किंवा विलुप्त झाले तर काय होईल? वास्तविक पाहता, जंगलातील बरेच प्राणी भयानक दराने नष्ट होत आहेत आणि त्यांच्या संवर्धनाचे प्रयत्न जोरात चालू आहेत. त्यातच जगातील सर्वात वेगवान प्राणी चित्त्याची संख्या दिवसेंदिवस कमी होत आहे आणि ही खरंच काळजी करण्याची बाब आहे. चित्ता हा मार्जार जातीतील एक प्राणी असून तो हलका व सगळ्यात वेगवान प्राणी मानला जातो. तो अधिकतर आफ्रिका आणि इराणमध्ये आढळून येतो. कोरडे गवत किंवा जंगलातील झुडुपे हे त्याचे निवासस्थान असते. मनुष्य आणि प्राण्यांमधील संघर्ष हे त्यांच्या नामशेष होण्याचे प्रमुख कारण आहे. सध्या जंगलात सुमारे 7,100 चित्ते शिल्लक आहेत. पूर्वीच्या काळात बेकायदेशीर शिकार करणे आणि व्यापारासाठी बेकायदेशीर पाळीव प्राण्यांना विकण
