Finally it was organized at Amravati, near Melghat Tiger Reserve of Maharastra state India. Kishore invited me to attend the programme and share our experiences. This also included a talk at the Amravati University, on any conservation success story from Assam. Well what else than Rhino conservation in Assam.
My presentation on rhino conservation was well taken by the audience and there were lots of questions coming from them. It was nice to talk to such a smart gathering.
That's not all. I had to give an extempore presentation on environment education activities and achievements of Aaranyak at the training hall. This groups is comprised of participants from Thailand, Bangladesh, Nepal and India including one of my colleague, Jayanta Pathak.
I still remember this training and what I learned during Thailand course. I always recommend people interested/involved in EE to this training. It is a must if you had not been through a formal training on Applied EE. Go for it next time where ever it is. I wish this be hold in Northeast India next time.
Ed McCrea, the principal resource of this training has a long experience in EE around the world. More about EECG and Ed http://www.eecg.org/home.htm
Good to meet all the participants and friends.
Thanks to Kishore and Ed for making me a part of this.
