Badopal has nearly 500 deers, blackbucks, bluebucks (Nilgai in Hindi), and other wild animals who are protected and cared for by the resident Bishnoi people of the Badopal village.[2]

When Gorakhpur Nuclear Power Plant, 10 km (6.2 mi) away, tried to build a township near Badopal on 185 acre land and barbedwire fencing around the site of future township caused the death of several endangered wild animals after they got entangled in the fence.[2] Eventually after the intervention of wildlife activists, Bishnoi community and the courts, the plan for township near Badopal was abandoned and site of building township relocated to Agroha and the site for building township near badopal became available for the sustainment of wildlife.[3][4]

Bishnoi community have created group to looks after the wildlife in this area.[3] They got the barbed wires legally banned in the area, regularly deweed the site for allowing fodder for wildlife to grow, got rid off the threat of human poachers and stray dogs who attack and kill the wildlife, and have applied to National Green Tribunal Act to have the site declared a protected wildlife area.[3] Consequently, due to the protection measures by the community, the number of deers and wildlife has incresed in the area.[3]

Issues

Soil salinty, due to water logging, is making the farm land infertile causing economic difficulties for the farmers of the area.[5][6]

gollark: Well, I wanted to write a thing, and my choices are/were essentially:- Rust - kind of annoying (yes, yes, I know) since I don't care that much about performance and don't mind just waiting for the garbage collector to garbage collect- JavaScript - fast/easy for me to write, but horribly resource-inefficient and it'll probably break in a few months from dependencies- Python - I don't really like it for larger-scale things, and dependency management is still fairly bees- something else, and I'd heard OCaml was neat
gollark: Yes, I'm assuming it probably isn't, but I don't know what *is* going on.
gollark: I duckduckwent it and found a compiler bug which looked related, but it was fixed last year.
