Illegal mining in Odisha’s Similipal Tiger Reserve is harming wildlife, polluting air, and worsening human-wildlife conflicts despite conservation pledges.
Illegal stone mining in Odisha’s Similipal Tiger Reserve, especially in the Dukhra range, is causing severe ecological damage, disrupting wildlife habitats and forcing animals like tigers, elephants, and rare snakes into human settlements, escalating human-wildlife conflicts.
The mining has led to significant air pollution from dust and emissions, harming local residents’ health and reducing agricultural output.
Despite government pledges to act, illegal mining persists, undermining conservation efforts in the UNESCO-designated biosphere reserve, a critical biodiversity hotspot and ecotourism destination.
