#TheElephantWhisperers
I had privilege to meet Ammu and Raghu during South India Tour.
Usually it is said that " Jungle mein mor nacha kisne Dekha" . Now whole world has seen. It is recognition of hardwork put in by forest department and local community in conservation.
Phew! That was a close shave. This #elephant survived after Tamil Nadu forest staff scared the animal off the track in Madukkarai. #RightofPassage@wti_org_india
Thematic Tours forms the core of Indian Forest Service (IFS) Training. We finished South India Tour on high note. Thanks to these wonderful creatures of Nature.
Probationers of Indian Forest Service called on President Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan. The President said that nature has given us bountiful presents and it is the duty of each one of us to be sensitive and responsible towards the environment. https://t.co/eE96pFwgTn
Lok Sabha Speaker Shri @ombirlakota inaugurated an appreciation course in Parliamentary Processes and Procedures for the Indian Forest Service (IFS) Probationers in Parliament House Complex, today. @loksabhaspeaker@Sansad_TV
Indian Forest Service(IFS) officers are committed to ensure co-existence of conservation and development. For us conservation of wildlife and forest is means to achieve the end of sustainable development. IFS officers care for wildlife and poor people. https://t.co/uEHVr041cG
Sundarban is one of the most pristine and only mangrove tiger reserve in the world. Tigers in Sunderban are small but more ferocious and charismatic. Rising sea level, increased frequency of cyclones and damming of rivers is leading to ecological changes in these forests.
Linear infrastructure (Roads, Railway Lines) are like invisible walls which fragment wildlife habitat. More damaging than mines. Coexistence of wildlife with developmental necessities is possible only if linear infrastructure projects are designed with wildlife concerns.
Another handsome tusker saved by applying emergency brake by railway staff in Jalpaiguri.
Salutation to them🙏
All new rail lines, including the much awaited Khorda-Bolangir BG line, has now inbuilt designs of elephant underpass to allow safe passage.

Chilika is one of the best site for Winter migratory birds. It's unique ecosystem which provides fresh and brackish water environment for biodiversity to flourish. It must be saved from illegal fishing and unsustainable tourism.
Wildlife management is one of the most challenging, yet enjoyable and thrilling part of Indian Forest Service (IFS). One of the most precious moments of my life in Panna Tiger Reserve during Wildlife Technique Tour.
Within a week two brave foresters have lost their life while doing there duty to protect forest of the country. Humanity can't exist without forest. Diversion of forest land under the shadow of tribal rights is neither good for tribals nor for country.
Paying homage to Late Sh. Srinivas Rao, RFO and two Forest Guards who laid down their lives for their duty to the nation (in separate incidents across the country). The service that they have rendered will never be forgotten #ForestMartyrs@IGNFA_GoI@moefcc
