A letter to Ms.Sheila Dikshit, Chief Minister, Delhi

To: Ms. Sheila Dikshit, chief minister, delhi

Subject: Monkey Sanctuary in Asola Bhati Sanctuary

Dear Madam

We would like to offer our services for the management of monkeys in the human habitation areas of Delhi.

According to our studies the five problems with the existing system are:


  1. the menace created by monkeys

  2. bringing in langurs to disperse them

  3. wrong methods of trapping

  4. confining them in a cage in Rajokri

  5. releasing them any where –if ever!


Vatavaran has a model to over come all of this. Our model requires participation by the Government, people at large and teams of experts.

The Government’s immediate role would be to allocate part of the Asola Bhatti sanctuary, for the creation of a Primate Estate. The area required is only 25 acres. Land near the hanuman temple located in the sanctuary would be ideal.

People’s role would be to contribute towards the making the sanctuary. Funds will be raised from corporate houses, religious bodies and people at large.

Vatavaran’s role would be to undertake awareness and fundraising campaigns, contact experts for technical support and involve the best monkey sanctuaries of the world in creating this Primate Estate.

A more detailed package with project information will be delivered to your office on Monday, 22.01.07.

We request you to allocate 25 acres in the Asola Bhati Wildlife Sanctuary, near the temple, and obligue the people and monkeys of Delhi.



Thanking you,
Sincerely
Dr. Iqbal Malik, Ph.D.
