- Tenkasi Forest Division is launching a ‘Golden Jackal Ambassadors’ scheme in schools and colleges.
- The scheme aims to protect the golden jackal, whose population is declining due to construction and loss of shrubs and forests.
- Students will receive training and will spread awareness about conserving golden jackals and helping injured animals return to the forest.
- The plan also covers awareness about other small wildlife such as mongoose, ant-eater, tortoise, snakes, and monitor lizard.
- The model follows the ‘Friends of Elephants’ scheme, which has reduced human–elephant conflict by involving villagers in early alerts and food creation inside forests.
