P.V. Padmanabham, Conservator of Forests:

“Development is always at the expense of forest everywhere in the world in any age. Forests are the natural habitats of animals and if it is disturbed the animal is also disturbed leading to aggressive behaviour. Adaptability factor is very little for animals and even a slight variation disturbs it a lot.”
