		The healthy and stable population of Nilgiri tahr is an indication of the health and stability of the park as a whole.
		Although the presence of Nilgiri tahr may have been the primary reason for creating the National Park, this does not mean that maximizing the tahr population should be the primary management objective, especially considering the large population.
		In view of the historical significance played by sport hunters and their organizations in conserving the two largest populations of Nilgiri tahr, the possibility of reopening tahr to sport hunting should not be dismissed.
