Request a precise geographic definition of 'surrounding lands' regarding the prohibition of recreational hunting and fishing by non-local staff and detail the enforcement mechanism.
Strategic Rationale
The Initial Project Description commits to prohibiting non-local employees from hunting or fishing in 'surrounding lands' to protect local resources. However, without a clear map and an enforcement strategy that does not rely on non-existent local authorities, this commitment is unenforceable. For the residents of Melgund, local fish and wildlife are vital for food security and recreation. The Proponent must clarify how they will monitor off-duty staff in an unorganized territory. A clear enforcement plan would improve the project by preventing the depletion of local resources and reducing potential conflicts between project staff and local residents.
