Human Settlements in The Park and Adjoining Areas
The National Park comprises two ranges viz: Kotamsar and Koleng range. The Kotamsar range, forming the western half on the Park is dotted with revenue villages on its boundary and there is hardly any forest area outside the Park for fuel wood, small wood, bamboo and other non-timber forest produce. So the Zone of influence (Zl) for people in this range is 10 km. The Koleng range forming the Eastern half of the Park has lesser number of villages on its boundary and is comparatively free from biotic pressure. So in the central portion Zone of influence is 10 km and on eastern boundary it is 5 km. All together there are 48 villages within 5 km radius of National Park boundary and only one Forest village (Kotamsar) is inside the National Park.

—Lydia M. Child (1802–1880)

They have neither the intelligence, the industry, the moral habits, nor the desire of improvement which are essential to any favorable change in their condition.”

“and the words never said,
And the ominous, ominous dancing ahead.
We sat in the car park till twenty to one
And now I’m engaged to Miss Joan Hunter Dunn.”

“I died for Beauty—but was scarce
Adjusted in the Tomb
When One who died for Truth, was lain
In an adjoining Room—”

“Adults understandably assume that the level of verbal proficiency a five-year-old displays represents his level of proficiency in all areas of functioning—if he talks like an adult, he must think and feel like one. However, five-year-olds,... belie the promise of adult-like behavior with their child-like, impulsive actions.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
