> Nobody could have realised that camera traps put in the Indian forest to monitor mammals actually have a profoundly negative impact on the mental health of local women who use these spaces.
Most women could have predicted that spycams in a park, run by a government in a country with known issues around women’s rights, would lead to issues.
Even governments with incredibly strict rules and indelible audit trails struggle with men in government using their access to data to stalk women. India is not a country known for these things.
Perhaps there's an inherent conflict between using the forest as a source of resources for the nearby village, and using it as a storage space for tigers.
That same forest without the cameras didn't exhibit that particular kind of conflict. I suppose the problem is in behavior of particular humans here, not of tigers, the forest, or even the cameras.
