It reminds me similar story, in my place. Well-known company (who spends millions in Cricket) hired snake catchers to get rid-off snakes from their region - which also has employee's houses. But in few weeks ,they stopped coming because company didn't pay them promised money.

I hope these two snake catchers get paid more than their translators! Translating from English to Tamil is easy and the real credit/money should go to these catchers not translators. Even USD-2000 will make huge difference to their lives. (If I'm not wrong USD-2000 will be equivalent to 2 or 3 years salary)

Maybe the tribesmen could teach others? </s>

I read another report,which says they are in-fact teaching others on this. So that wild-life organizers can take of themselves :)
