Through this book, the author aims to provide readers with an understanding of these challenges and firsthand accounts of the efforts being made to address them, presented through short stories. The first part of the book begins with an introduction and background information on wildlife conservation in India. It includes stories about the revival of the tiger population, which had been depleted by poaching, the Hon. Supreme Court’s directives against unplanned tourism in Tiger Reserve areas, and the India Ecodevelopment project, which emphasises the active participation of local communities in managing Tiger Reserves. The second part of the book features stories about various conservation efforts, such as the cessation of unregulated mining in Saranda under the Supreme Court’s orders, the revival of wildlife in Manas Tiger Reserve after devastation by Bodo insurgents, and the transformation of poachers in Paraiyar into protectors. It also highlights the exceptional ecodevelopment work in the reserve, the successful relocation of Bhadra Villages, which benefits farmers and wildlife, and the closure of K.I.O.C.L iron ore mining under Supreme Court directives. Additionally, there are chapters on the conservation of olive ridley turtles and whale sharks. The book concludes with an epilogue offering pertinent recommendations.
