Country's Sacred Trust; Jungle !
 |
|
| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
I found these handsome chital stags moving without fear at the jungle edge of Jim Corbett National Park close to our guest house.
The park is named after Jim Corbett, the legendary hunter of man-eating tigers, who was the greatest hero of the simple hill folk of kumaon region. He went about his task of helping the hill folk with their day to day problems in a time when metalled roads and modern transport were non-existent. During these years Corbett attained incredible knowledge of the jungle and the knack of being a part of it. He could read the jungle signs with ease and could even imitate the sounds made by various animals. As time passed, he gave up the Gun and took to the Camera.
Perhaps, this is the first instance of an ardent hunter turning a conservationist. He said: "A country's fauna is a sacred trust and I appeal to you not to betray this trust... If we do not bestir ourselves now it will be to our discredit that the fauna of our province was exterminated in our generation, and under our very own eyes, while we looked on and never raised a finger to prevent it."

Hi Saranjan,
You and Goldy are really tempting me to return to India and visit this park! A beautiful shot showing these animals in their beautiful natural habitat. Beautiful setting of greens and golds.

ranjan,
very nice shot of the jungle with very soft and subtle colors.
I think with better light, the chitals would have stood out more....
