Blessed to have this view and bring in the new year. A tradition since 1991! Trees and their wonderful gifts, water and clean air! And tigers and elephants and bears!! Pray this remains forever.

This is the great #grassland of Dhela - once agricultural fields farmed by humans. The Corbett #Tiger Reserve then rehabilitated the village a decade ago, #rewilding the land, which now hosts a stunning variety of life. Here a small herd of #elephants graze as they would have long ago.

Fascinating! Wonder how many creatures we just ‘’miss” when walking through a forest!

The blue whistling thrush, aka the whistling schoolboy, has a whistle that’s very similar to a human’s. Our rewilding effort continues to bear fruit, having created many niches for fauna to visit and feed! #nature #avifauna #birding (pic credit JJR naturalist)

20 years later, and a degraded plot of farm land has been taken back to the wild! What u see are the results of that love and nurturing.

Terribly foreboding for wildlife in Himachal. Good officers need to be rewarded, not forced to quit!! www.tribuneindia.com/news/himacha...

There’s an elephant herd in the forest close by. The gentlest of creatures, until you come too close. A joy to behold.

Someone showed up today for a drink of water. I hope she stays for a while.
