The forests of India are not just a national heritage, but they are also critical for our country’s survival.In Wildlife Chronicles, avid nature lover Adit Jain brings us closer to the various national parksand wildlife sanctuaries in India. Diverse in landscape and biota—from the dry deciduous to theevergreen, from the temperate and alpine to the deserts—India’s forests provide a haven for countlessspecies of birds and animals, many of which are unique and endemic to their regions.Written as a travelogue-cum-information guide, the book describes the flora and fauna within theparks, must-see places for travellers, places to stay and the best time of the year to visit. The bookhas two purposes. First, generate interest amongst its readers in wildlife and conservation. Second,provide a travel guide of sorts. Apart from documenting several anecdotes and learnings that theauthor has gained during his travels, the book comprises sumptuous photographs of various animaland bird species taken by the author.The next time you visit a wildlife reserve, do not make the sighting of the tiger the primary objective,instead try to appreciate holistically the forest and its inhabitants.
