Yesterday the country celebrated Holi. And there were a lot of people posting pictures of they enjoying and wishing others. But there was a particular lot which was manning forests. The pictures here are of the remote camps (currently as tents) manning posts extremely sensitive to poaching and conflict. What’s was interesting is that the forest department leadership team visited each and every camp (repeating - each and every camp), carrying sweets, hugging them, wishing each and every guard, and field resource , making sure they feel a part of the family. Having lunch with them. Extremely fortunate to be a part of this humbling experience while on project work, to see the dedication of the guards and the forest leadership on such aspects which we don’t know and don’t think about. Huge respect for the forest force.
