The Economist Criticized for Poverty References in Conservation Article
British magazine The Economist has drawn criticism for referencing India's poverty in an article discussing the country's wildlife conservation successes. While acknowledging India's achievements in saving species like tigers, rhinos, and cheetahs, the magazine also described India as a "relatively poor country," a characterization that has been called a "patronising 'poor country' trope."
