Sad news. Agree this is a perfect example of 'trying to treat the symptoms instead of the disease' which turned into disaster. we need a paradigm shift in everything from conceptual understanding to focus of research, policy making to implementation strategy, media coverage to professional discourse related to nature conservation before there can be any progress in understanding or assimilation at ground level. The tragedy is that as in everything else it is the lowest rung which suffers the most due this lack of vision and will... be it man or animal. The mouse deer and the forest guard are don't weigh much in our flawed scale of priorities.
