The forests of India are not just a national heritage, but they are also critical for our country's survival.
In Wildlife Chronicles, avid nature lover Adit Jain brings us closer to the various national parks and wildlife sanctuaries in India. Diverse in landscape and biota-from the dry deciduous to the evergreen, from the temperate and alpine to the deserts-India's forests provide a haven for countless species of birds and animals, many of which are unique and endemic to their regions.
Written as a travelogue-cum-information guide, the book describes the flora and fauna within the parks, must-see places for travellers, places to stay and the best time of the year to visit. The book has two purposes. First, generate interest amongst its readers in wildlife and conservation. Second, provide a travel guide of sorts. Apart from documenting several anecdotes and learnings that the author has gained during his travels, the book comprises sumptuous photographs of various animal and bird species taken by the author.
The next time you visit a wildlife reserve, do not make the sighting of the tiger the primary objective, instead try to appreciate holistically the forest and its inhabitants.
