History of Uttarakhand: Jim Corbett

Jim Corbett A Great Hunter but best friend of "Tigers" 
In 1957, the name of the Halley National Park of Uttarakhand (then Uttar Pradesh) was changed to Jim Corbett's name. Jim Corbett died on April 19, 1955 two years ago. Corbett was a famous hunter. It seems amazing that why a sanctuary is named after the name of a hunter. After all, the work of a hunter has not changed. 

Jim Corbett's personality was such. He was a hunter who had hunted dozens of tigers and leopards. The hunt for Corbett was more than a hobby. For them, these animals were more than hunting. But most of the creatures targeted by Corbett were man-eating. Even after hunting the man-eating, he had a sense of good sense in his mind too.In his book Man-Eaters of Kumaon, Corbett writes, "A man-eating tiger is a tiger which, due to circumstances, had to adopt a diet which is different from its nature. Nine to ten cases, these conditions are caused by wounds and the rest is behind it.He loved life through nature and always advocated its protection. On the declining population of tigers in India, he said, 'The tiger is a big-hearted species, which has immense courage - if it is over, then India will lose its most beautiful part of wildlife and become poor.'
