Forest Officials Directed to Ensure Water for Wildlife
The forest department in Hyderabad is making plans to ensure that wild animals have enough water to drink, especially because the monsoon season has been poor.
The head of the forest department, Vinay Kumar, had a meeting with officials and told them to make sure there is enough water for animals by creating and maintaining water holes.
He also reminded them to keep planting trees and make sure the young trees survive.
This is important because the lack of rain has made it hard to find water in the forests.
