Hi Arefa!
Greatly impressed with your love and knowledge for wildlife and animals. I happened to be at the Bhopal fest yesterday and attended your session, Serpent hunters with my 8 year old kid.
I must give you some words of appreciation here. Your knowledge was clearly visible in your talks. Your passion for snakes was something that caught my attention. I would love to see you growing with your passion and wish you with great endeavours for wildlife.
I am asking you for a little help here. Kindly suggest some wildlife (any place in India) to visit in the month of march 2020 so that I can show my kid what wildlife and animals means to us and how we can contribute to protect them.
Regards
Ricky
