Kind Friends,
These photographs were taken by photographer Anand Arya at the Okhla Bird Park & Wild Life Sanctuary in India.
This Sanctuary, home to almost 400 species and some 25,000 plus birds at peak migration, is now threatened by adjacent construction. Anand Arya and a colleague have filed a petition with the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, New Delhi, to preserve the sanctuary.
They need the support of all who care.
This is a particularly well thought out, intelligently composed and informative petition.
The numbers are modest so far, friends; I believe we might actually make a difference in the preservation of this place, glorious and fragile. I would urge -- nay, beg -- everyone to take a moment and sign Anand's petition at:
Damage to a place such as this is a tragedy indeed.
