India is one of the twelve
mega bio-diversity countries, possibly the richest country
in the world in terms of wildlife and forests, simply
because of her great diversity. Remote mountains, icy
plateaux, lush green forests, moist evergreen foothills,
rainforests and dry scrub deserts and mangrove swamps, all
support an amazing variety of wildlife.

I want to say - Have you noticed
how the pebbles on the road are polished and pure after
the rains ? And the flowers ? No words can describe them. One
can only murmur an ‘Ah !’ of admiration. We should
understand the ‘Ah !’ of things. This site is an attempt
to find the ‘Ah !’ of Nature, to develop a deeper
insight and love for nature, to see the deep truth contained in
these creation. What is Nature ? What is hidden
within …..? Try to find an answer to these questions—to
perceive in the animals, the plants and even the stones,
apparently inert and unconscious, the hidden but vibrant energy,
the growing life, the seeking consciousness– to understand and
love the infinite moods and expressions of Nature—to come close
to her through the rocks, the trees, the insects, the animals,
the sun, the wind, the rain and the storm—and finally—to
have a clearer vision of the hidden god, the Divine Presence.

It is
a phenomenon that connects countries, even continents. If only it
could help a little more in connecting the hearts of the people who
live along the thousands of kilometers these birds
travel, the world might actually be a better place. But then, no one
asked the birds. In any case for members of the human species, being
called birds brained has always been an insult; rarely if
ever, a compliment.

our
sub-continent is a microcosm of our Planet in terms of biological
diversity and the range of flora and fauna we have here . From the rain
forests of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands to the dry desert of western
India and from the humid coastlines of peninsular India to the alpine
meadows of the Himalayas,India is home to plurality of life forms .
Conservation of biological
wealth is a national priority . Our quest for development has to strike
a balance with conservation of the environment and its biodiversity . We
need to live in harmony with nature . The greatest example of this is
the life of Mahatma Gandhi . On the occasion of the wildlife week
. which coincides with the Mahatma's birth anniversary, I call upon my
countrymen to follow his example and to pledge to protect our wildlife
and biological resources for posterity
