There's a spurt in the spotting of wildlife beyond their places of habitation in Goa. The incidents at Sinquerim and Agaciam are recent ones. Others point out how they are seeing animals and birds they never saw before. A colleague from Madkai (Ponda taluka) says the villagers are coming across peacocks for the first time. This happened after an industrial estate was set up on a local hill, though the connection if any is not quite clear.
Would it be accurate to say that the destruction of the habitat has led to wildlife moving into human areas? Wildlife enthusiasts here are taking such a point of view, but the forest officials don't agree. FN
Or approaching apocalypse? Alfred
