Akshaya Kumar Sahoo The State Board for Wildlife, the high-power body chaired by the chief minister Naveen Patnaik, has not met even once in the last two years MASSIVE URBANISATION and industrialisation in Orissa is now taking its toll on the wildlife resources. This apart, the alleged apathy of the state government also threatens the very existence of the wildlife. Although it is mandatory that the State Board for Wildlife must meet every six months to oversee implementation of the wildlife conservation programmes, the high-power body, chaired by the chief minister Naveen Patnaik, has not met even once in the last two years. Similarly, there has been no meeting of the honorary wildlife wardens for the last two years, according to wild life experts.
