Blessed to have this view and bring in the new year. A tradition since 1991! Trees and their wonderful gifts, water and clean air! And tigers and elephants and bears!! Pray this remains forever.

This is the great #grassland of Dhela - once agricultural fields farmed by humans. The Corbett #Tiger Reserve then rehabilitated the village a decade ago, #rewilding the land, which now hosts a stunning variety of life. Here a small herd of #elephants graze as they would have long ago.

Fascinating! Wonder how many creatures we just ‘’miss” when walking through a forest!
A lichen mimic katydid at Wildsumaco in Ecuador. These absolutely disappear into this beard lichen. Finding one was mostly a happy accident.
Its neat to think about the selective pressure that lead to them looking just like this lichen, that they both live around and eat as their main diet.

There’s an elephant herd in the forest close by. The gentlest of creatures, until you come too close. A joy to behold.
