Conservation status/ April 2017

Finally, Kappatagudda gets conservation reserve tag, April 12, 2017: The Hindu

The State government declared Kappatagudda forest region in Gadag district as a conservation reserve. A notification in this regard was issued following pressure by environmentalists, farmers, and seers of various mutts from northern Karnataka.

The notification

The notification states that the limits and extent of forest areas which are included in Kappatagudda Reserve Forest comprise government of Karnataka-notified reserve forests by reasons of its ecological, faunal, floral and geomorphological importance, and for the purpose of protecting, propagating and developing wildlife there in or its environment.

The government had earlier withdrawn the notification on conservation reserve citing a technical reason of not conducting a public hearing.

Campaign launched

This, however, had come under wide criticism, leading to a campaign for saving the forest range.
