Forests Need Its People to Survive
B. Siddan, known as the Birdman of Bokkapuram, has an expert knowledge of birds
in his region of India. He enthusiastically shares his love of birds in this
short video, proudly introducing them by name like the old friends that they
have become after his many years of bird watching. One such bird friend, a
spot-bellied eagle owl, looks down knowingly on him. In holistic conservation,
which B. describes as the whole village and all who live in the forest working
for its benefit, all species can grow and thrive.
