Nature, the cradle of all life forms on earth, is
not something that is simply present around us
it is the life force that sustains our very
existence
Some denizens (elephant golden langur) and a
landscape of Manas National Park
3
Throughout the generations, man has used nature,
exploited her and in the process, abused her
4
Although a lot has been lost in the past, we
still have some hotspots that represent the
pristine beauty of mother nature
5
Enchanted Garden in Manas anyone for skinny
dipping with fairies??
6
Preservation of these hotspots and their possible
expansion is not simply a conservation effort,
but a necessity for human existence
Landscapes from Manas National Park beat the heat
with the cool waters of the Beki
7
Awareness, Awakening and Action are the 3 As
that can protect our rapidly depleting natural
wealth and subsequently save our planet
8
Other than through programmes and talks, this
Awareness should and can be created among every
visitor of a wildlife reserve this can be
achieved only through mediums that are exciting
to possess and inexpensive to buy
Top a Capped Langur Right mushrooms or
caramel?
Yes, its a spiderplease say SHRIEK!!
9
Successful Action on the other hand, needs
moral, physical and financial support, the last
being the most crucial element
10
The only sources of concrete financial support,
are governmental/international aid and
sustainable tourism
Mathanguri bungalow in Manas Inset the elusive
Rhino in Manas, fell in our trap
Marketing of a nature reserve, showcasing its
richness as well as providing infrastructural
information, ensures the inflow of tourists to
such areas
11
Materials are available in plenty for major
hotspots around the world, but what we missed was
a visually appealing permanent book that
bridged the gap between run-of-the-mill travel
guides expensive coffee tables
12
Red River Nature Heritage Series has been
conceived and produced with the dual mandate of
creating exclusive handbooks for showcasing
natures hotspots and raise an awareness for the
conservation of our limited natural heritage. In
the process, these books will also provide
practical information about these places
13
We have stepped upon this venture with one of the
most bio diverse national parks in the world
future plans are to showcase the heritage of
nature, transgressing all regional, national or
international boundaries
