Episode 36 | Conserving India's Sacred Groves | Interview with Archana Godbole, Founder of AERF

In this episode, we dive deep into the conservation of India's Sacred Groves with Archana Godbole, the Founder and Director of the Applied Environmental Research Foundation (AERF). Sacred Groves are ancient, communally protected forest patches dedicated to local deities, embodying both cultural and ecological values. These biodiversity-rich areas, spread across India, play a crucial role in preserving rare plant species, wildlife, and invaluable gene pools.

This is one of my favorite picture - showcasing a Wetland - an abundant ecosystem that forms a transition zone between aquatic and terrestrial terrain and support a variety of birds, breeding, resident and winter visitors (@nikhildevasar). Interestingly, Gurgaon and its outskirts are host to quite a few of such diversities - this picture shows Pied Avocets flying over a wetland near Kheda Mankrola . #wetlands #wetland #biodiversity #indiabiodiversity #wildlife #conservation #nature #photography #wildlifephotography #natgeoyourshot #nikonphotography #birdphotography #nuts_about_birds #your_best_birds #bestbirdshots #marvelshots #kings_birds #bird_brilliance #birdlovers #pocket_birds #birdfreaks #eye_spy_birds #natgeocreative #incredibleindia #EarthCapture #birdlife #animal_sultans #naturegeography #PlanetBirds #birds_adored . @birdphotographyindia @animalplanetindia @wildlifeindia @indianwildlifeofficial @nikonindiaofficial (at Mankrola) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrznoEWhsy6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tm6k1jnf0jog
