(This year, a Forest Guard was killed in Nepal Border by mining mafia, a Range Officer killed in Chhattisgarh by jungle mafia, a DFO was nearly killed in Jammu by timber mafia, and there are countless incidents of assaults on forest personnels and wrongful confinement of our officials even by the authority. Last year also, there have been killings of forest guards by wild animals in Ranthambhore and Nilgiris. This article is a tribute to those unsung heroes who laid down their lives for the cause of forest and environment)
This article is not going to talk about the architects of forestry in the country like Brandis, Schlich or Champion, nor on Maneka Gandhi who ushered in the Forest Conservation Act, the landmark Act which is the most effective tool for forest protection.This article is not going to talk neither about Sunderlal Bahuguna for his Chipko or MedhaPatkar for her Narmada BachaoAndolan. They have all been applauded for their efforts and contributions and glorified, they have become popular figures. Today, let us talk about the people who played a great role in conserving our forest and environment but least talked about, forget appreciating them.
