The Leap @daleepakoi.bsky.social · 05/01/2025Blessed 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. 010
The Leap @daleepakoi.bsky.social · 19/12/2024This 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. 010
