A heartfelt memoir of what it feels like to connect with an elephant & then face the truth of how they can suddenly die due to human negligence - this is the story of Ramu, whom I came to know as Lasit, as told by @kamdararjun: projectcroak.com/post/the-life-…

India marks a milestone with the first-ever GPS tagging of a dolphin! A new chapter unfolds in dolphin research, paving the way for deeper insights and conservation. Truly, fortune favors the brave! @V_kolipakam @wii_india #DolphinConservation #WildlifeResearch
Wildlife Institute of India@wii_india

The Ganges River dolphins are Endangered species and #ProjectDolphin aims to conserve the species through scientifically robust methods. The tagging was carried out in Assam of a healthy male dolphin, by the team led by Dr. Vishnupriya Kolipakam @V_kolipakam , under the veterinary care of Dr Sanath Muliya (@muliya_sanath) , Dr Lallianpuii Kawlni (@lalanikawlni) and Dr Deboabrata Phukon (@debabrataphuko1).

@ParveenKaswan Thank you! Your team's work on the burying of deceased calves by elephants in Bengal further drives the point of cultural behaviours in elephant society!

Ask any #forest gaurd/labour & she/he will tell you #elephants are thinking, feeling, sentient, social animals. This study by @kamdararjun et al shows how #elephants rescued their fallen kin demonstrating their altruism & #empathy. #Conservation action, our attitude to #wildlife must address their qwaulity of lifem, right to dignity. Recognise #elephants & other animals as distinct personalities , not automatons just coz it suits our self-interest. In light of this, chasing, harassing, confining, culling, catpuring #elephants is (even more) horrific

Bhimbetka rock shelters. A testament of the journey we're all on - developing our hearts & brains & our interconnections - amidst the weathering of forces I left with a full heart & humbled self, time playing out from a billion years to the recorded handprints of Homo sapiens!

Finally at the proof/indexing stage. Still surprised I was able to find the time between Covid, a new fieldsite, a demanding 2-yr grant, an addition to the family, and my own procrastination, to turn my human-elephant work into a book. Thank the gods for my partner's patience.
