Dear Debasis,
I agree with your points.

The story about the Kanda maneater in the school book had impressed many people. I was fortunate to be introduced to Jim Corbett and Kenneth Anderson's books in class 4. Also, dad had found shikar books of three well known writers from Odisha during that time. I think if stories about nature and wildlife are included in the curriculum in the schools then it would really have an impact.

Your second point is very vital. We seem to pick and choose what to conserve. We have to be holistic and preserve the entire ecosystem.

Your third point brings a smile to my face. We all need our personal space. Even World Labour Organisation prescribes minimum space for labourers. In the airport while waiting in the mandatory queue for security check in, people gently elbow each other to make more space for themselves. We have to create inviolate spaces for our wildlife.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi
