| Field Biologists Cry Foul Over Ban | |
| 2012 Science (335): 1429-1429 | |
For 12 years, Anindya Sinha would camp out for weeks at a stretch in Bandipur Tiger Reserve to observe social behavior in a troop of bonnet macaques, and how the monkeys responded to tourism pressure. Then in 2010, his study came to a grinding halt. The wildlife manager in southern India's Karnataka State revoked Sinha's research permit, citing a need to safeguard the reserve's tigers. It was a "high-handed, unjustified decision," charges Sinha, a primate biologist at the National Institute of Advanced Studies in Bangalore. After failing to land a new permit, Sinha recently abandoned his study. |
