Is Indian wildlife safe?

On 7th July a police party recovered bones of an adult tiger from Bhima a known wildlife criminal residing in Gurgaon very close to Delhi the HQ of National Tiger Conservation Authority. Some traps were also recovered from his premises.
In another sordid development forest officials in Maharashtra recovered a half burnt caracass of a Chinkara deer from the farm house of the state's Transport Minister!
The above two developments belie the governmental claims that poaching is on the wane. These two episodes present a bleak picture of conservation in the country. What about your views on it?
