Karnataka: Urgent call for wildlife safety in Udupi canals

After two small deer were found struggling to escape from an irrigation canal, environmentalists are urging the forest department to implement crucial safety measures for wildlife while allowing the construction of irrigation canals in forest limits. The National Environment Care Federation (NECF) has long advocated for the inclusion of Animal Crossing Corridors and escape steps at regular intervals in canal projects.
