wildlife
conservationist and writer Ms
*Prerna Singh Bindra *will speak about her experiences in working to save
India's wildlife, and the contribution of women in conservation.
Women are stewards of the earth, and have made an extraordinary
contribution to the conservation of nature.
From pioneers like Rachel Carson who triggered the
contemporary conservation movement, and Gaura Devi, who led the 'Chipko'
movement in Uttarakhand (embracing trees to disallow them from being cut)
to the current green army of women--
from wildlife biologists striving to gain an insight into rare wild
creatures to women forest guards who climb won wells to rescue big cats.
*Also, looking to meet aspiring young women conservationists, or those who
have just taken up the profession to know what motivated them.*
*Date: 2nd March 2017 - 3 pm*
*Venue: The American Centre, 24, Kasturba Gandhi Marg, New Delhi - 110001*
