While wildlife lovers are urging people not to undertake treks and trails to areas that are breeding grounds for fireflies, the Sanjay Gandhi National Park is organising firefly walks in the park. While flash photography and use of torch lights were not allowed in the show organised on Wednesday, is it really enough?
Environmentalist Anand Pendharkar, CEO of SPROUTS, an eco-tourism and environment consultancy, said, "I had advised SGNP against it and they need to answer with reasons and logic. Eco-tourism is about being ethical and not glamping which it has turned out to be."
