केरल के तिरुवनंतपुरम ज़िले के परसाला गाँव में एक ऐसा खेत है, जहाँ केला सिर्फ फसल नहीं बल्कि संस्कृति, स्मृति और संरक्षण का प्रतीक है। कभी कोच्चि में वेब डिजाइनिंग कंपनी चलाने वाले विनोद सहदेवन नायर ने माँ के निधन के बाद कॉर्पोरेट दुनिया छोड़कर खेती को अपनाया। आज उनके खेत में भारत ही नहीं, दुनिया भर से लाई गई 400 से ज़्यादा केले की दुर्लभ किस्में उग रही हैं।

रुद्रप्रयाग के एक छोटे से गाँव में, एक BSF जवान ने एक महिला की दर्दनाक मौत को सिर्फ याद नहीं रखा, उसने उसे बदलाव की जड़ बना दिया। सेवानिवृत्ति के बाद जहाँ लोग आराम की तलाश करते हैं, वहीं जगत सिंह चौधरी, जिन्हें लोग प्यार से ‘जंगली दादा’ कहते हैं, ने अपनी बंजर ज़मीन पर जंगल उगा दिया।

The tiger is a monk. It won't bother you, or be bothered by you. It tries to maintain its composure as much as it can. Even if you are around it, it will most likely be unfazed. And even when a tiger expresses its aggression, it is mock. It's a construct.

3,000. That's roughly the number figure of tigers we have. It is easy to assign blame just on the farmers and poachers for their deaths. Several recent government decisions are structurally harmful to tiger reserves

The recent death of a two-year-old male tiger in the Panna Tiger Reserve, the most critical tiger habitat in the country, raises hard hitting questions. Is the reserve running out of space for the growing number of tigers? And, what happens if the Ken-Betwa river linking project submerges a major portion of the core area of the Tiger Reserve?

Hundreds of tribal families in Bilhata, Katahari and Koni villages inside the Panna Tiger Reserve in Madhya Pradesh are dependent on jhiriya, a local water source, to meet their water needs. Adivasi women trek several kilometres each day through the thick jungles and climb down steep hillsides to collect water from the jhiriya. Forest officials say that these villages need to be relocated due to the Ken-Betwa Link Project.
