#Birds are indeed a fascinating component of our day-to-day life on this planet - #Earth. Different #ecosystems, we get diversity of birds. The color combinations among birds are so mindboggling. Some of them carry the symbol of fly without border. Let's help save birds and their #habitats.

Today I was invited by #Pandu #College, Guwahati to deliver a talk on wildlife conservation and opportunities for students. Inculcating love for #wildlife #conservation among #students are crucial to ensure planet #earth can be kept as a livable #planet for all lifeforms.

Always excited to watch activities of mother and her calf #GreaterOneHorned #Rhino in the wild. They communicate with each other well. Mother rhino is always #protective in nature when the calf is around. If an unknown rhino comes close to the calf, the mother rhino immediately takes away the calf.

Visiting beautiful eastern #ArunachalPradesh in India which is a part of the eastern #Himalayas.

#Tiger is the #national #animal of #India. Clicked these photos in #Kaziranga #NationalPark in Assam, India on 14 January 2025. Kaziranga is known for its successful efforts to recover the #greater #OneHorned #rhinos from less than 100 rhinos to about 2600 rhinos currently roaming in Kaziranga.

Breakfast time for Oriental pied #Hornbills. These birds have come to a fringe village of #Kaziranga #NationalPark to enjoy Banana. #Compassion and support of local #villagers towards #wildlife in Kaziranga really merits applause.

My organisation #Aaranyak has initiated #Vulture #Conservation #Awareness in parts of Assam, India engaging local #communities. Building a strong sense of stewardship among communities can help conservation of Vultures. www.aninews.in/news/nationa...
