Wildlife documentary runs nto trouble with forest dept

A wildlife documentary, titled 'Nilgiris A Shard Wilderness,' produced by Felis Creations Private Limited has encountered objections from the Tamil Nadu forest department for allegedly using camera traps without authorisation. The controversy erupted following the release of a 1.29-minute trailer that featured a leopard and her three cubs, raising concerns over the legality of the filming methods employed.

The visuals in question were recorded in a private estate in Kotagiri, part of the Nilgiris district. However, forest officials objected to the use of camera traps, for which no formal permission had been sought.
