Tourism destinations deep inside India’s tiger parks will be closed indefinitely after the Supreme Court of India imposed an interim ban on all tourism activities in core areas of tiger forests.
“(Until) final directions of the court, core areas in tiger reserves will not be used for tourism activities,” the court said in the order issued Tuesday, according to a report by the Times of India.

“Two leopards arrived last week at Majete Wildlife Reserve in Chikhwawa from South Africa under an animal restocking programme that is being implemented by Africa Parks, a company which is managing the reserve under a concession with the Malawi government.
The transfer of the two leopards is part of the programme to gradually introduce big cats back into the park which started in October 2011 with the introduction of two leopards relocated from the Kruger National Park in South Africa.
