Guest guest Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Dear Azam, Tariq Aziz is currently in India. I have given him whatever you have gathered and have also provided a short introduction to your personal efforts regarding this. He tells me there have been some concrete efforts done in Nepal, details of which he can send me when he returns to Nepal tomorrow. I will drop him an introductory email and copy you and it may be useful for you to keep in touch with him since he is a giant in the conservation field. Interestingly, he also has journalistic experience, having worked for the IRNA news agency of Iran. He has written a lot of articles on wildlife and used to contribute to the Statesman. I am sure he has expertise on the North East as well. He was pleasantly surprised when I told him that his article on Snow Leopards in the Statesman made a deep impression on me as a child. In that article he had suggested that Snow Leopards be rechristened as Rock Leopards because they are sighted more often among rocks than snow!. When I talked about this, he smiled and asked in Hindi, " Woh to bahut purani cheez hai, aapko abhi yaad hai? " ( " That is a very old article, do you still remember it? " ) My Hindi is quite lame, so I just replied, " Zaroor. Likhawa achha hone se hamesha yaad rehta hai. " (Of course. If a writing is good, it remains ingrained in you forever. " ) Brilliant work as usual. Do keep it up. Best wishes and kind regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
