Forest Fires
During the time of summer and any time before the monsoon, the sanjay gandhi national park (SGNP) is a victim of forest fires with at least one in two weeks. Sadly, (not surprisingly) the government and forest department hardly ever do anything and this has resulted in the loss of rare trees and loss of habitat for wild animals. the foul play of locals is often suspected. Often locals burn the trees on some of the outskirts of the forests and make their slums there. after some years the land is acquired by builders and buildings are made.

Famous quotes containing the words forest and/or fires:
“I perceive that in these woods the earliest settlements are, for various reasons, clustering about the lakes, but partly, I think, for the sake of the neighborhood as the oldest clearings. They are forest schools already established,—great centres of light.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Every year without knowing it I have passed the day
When the last fires will wave to me”
—William Stanley Merwin (b. 1927)
