Wildlife warrior Godilla Vishwanatha Reddy: A sincere, humble conservationist

 

21 July 24

I first met forester GV Reddy, who passed away on July 14, 2024, way back in 1997 when Ibegan camera-trap surveys of tigers in Ranthambore. The forest bureaucracy, which he was a part of, was then mandating the obsolete “pugmark census” method to assess tiger populations. Because of my early scientific critiques of their methods, I was then considered a heretic by devotees of that tradition.

Reddy was already quite a legend, having rescued Ranthambore from the spree of poaching, wood cutting and cattle herding, which threatened its very existence just before he stepped in to stem the destruction.
