... It is unfortunate that while Corbett's contemporary W.H. Champion, a professional forester who formulated working plans, popularised wildlife photography and preached conservation, and Hugo Wood, who saved the Anamalai forests (Indira Gandhi National Park), have been forgotten, a national park has been named after Corbett. "


If I remember correctly he was also instrumental in getting the park that is named for him set up in the first place and helped the government of the day to begin conservation programs. However once the 'national' government took over many of the programs went away.

Seems to me from his books he very much cared for the wildlife in his home country especially the tiger which he believed was often misrepresented as a 'cruel and evil' animal.

But then what do you expect from reviewers who have probably never seen 'wild' animals outside the zoo and believe animal populations can never be large enough even though there is no longer the habitat to support unlimited populations.
