"The Rivers then go outside and civilize the world.."
Word
@ParveenKaswan
Forests are full of water in monsoon. Many small rivers become big. With water logging grasslands get a new life. By water logging weeds also gets checked.
These rivers then go outside and civilise the world. The fresh water is one of the important ecological service provided…

Small Eats?
This may look like a tiny snack,but for Foresters,many times,it is a miracle meal in midst of an emergency.
Be it Forest Fires or losing Forest Tracks during Monsoon Patrolling..

It is wrong and idiotic.
This is not rescue,or being kind.
In wilderness you cannot seize food from an animal.
A predator makes number of attempts to get some morsel for sustenance. This sort of action makes their living even more precarious.

Bureaucrats r more effective if their Work speaks.
Instead of self promoting imagery!
Many of us r on social media,to understand people's thoughts,help resolve urgent issues quickly& share our team's efforts.
Certainly not to spar & ban fellow twittereti. Even if we disagree!

This is
#MelghatTigerReserve
Where sleepy rivers flow quietly
Stark white Stercularia "Ghost" Trees loom above you
Spectacular Forest Rest House stand witness to centuries of bird calls & wilderness spirit & still awaits more
Where everyone breathes easy..

Lovers!
If you visit Gularghat EcoTourism Site at Akot, do have a look at this quaint Machan;
Built completely from salvaged wood of old fixings & broken doors..
You can still see the rumpty hinges;
Nothing is wasted in Wilderness

But look carefully..
The dog after sliding under the gate took a sly turn on the right. And fled.
The leopard (poor fellow) did all the hurdle jumps perfectly & moving straight ahead.
Brains. Matter.

Yellow Palash?
Butea monosperma:
#Palash
A flower famed as
#FlameOfTheForest
for fiery orange hue
But in
#MelghatTigerReserve
we find a paler, yellow version too,
Equally enticing..
(Still looking for a rare white Palash in Melghats which I saw years ago)

Forest Elements..
Most of our setups are deeply influenced by the local cultural heritage; in our case,that of
#Korkus
of Melghats
It helps us bond with the roots better & also promote local artistic heritage to the outside world
