Many communities have not seen the value of tourism, apart from those who may engage in trading curios. Many of them see it as a liability. When we say in Clause 23 that we will be able to provide to local communities that are negatively affected by activities undertaken with respect to wildlife conservation and management, then we are moving towards having them as part and parcel of wildlife management.

This Bill provides a timeline of 12 months for the compensation of human death, injury of crop and property damage caused by wildlife. Of course, there is no way we can ever fully compensate human life. You can never fully compensate human death because you can never bring somebody back to life.

Madam Temporary Speaker, there are dwindling numbers of lions in this country. We have less than 2,000 lions in this county, yet they are a great heritage to this country.

More importantly, we should create provisions for the county governments to provide resources.
