Shankar Wild heart of India : nature and conservation in the city, the country, and the wild Oxford University Press 2019 New Delhi xix,476p Include Bibliography Wild - untamed, hostile, remote. Yet, wild can be gentle, welcoming, and inspiring, too. This is the wild that preoccupies biologist Shankar Raman as he writes about trees and bamboos, hornbills and elephants, leopards and myriad other species. Species found not just out there in far wildernesses - from the Thar desert to the Kalakad rainforests, from Narcondam Island to Namdapha - but amid us, in gardens and cities, in farms, along roadsides. And he writes about the forces that gouge land and disfigure landscapes, rip trees and shred forests, pollutes rivers and contaminate the air, slaughter animals along roads and rail tracks - impelling a motivation to care and to conserve nature.
