Hello everybody

My name is Pralay Lahiry from Calcutta (or Kolkata as they say nowadays. I am from the old school). I am 42 years old and a Merchant Navy Officer by profession. Wild Life is my passion from very early days but a limited knowledge of computers proves to be hindrance.

I am a member of Greenpeace. I believe that if we do not do something today our children will have nothing left and only some concrete jungles as legacy. When the last tiger walks out into the sunset, the soul of my country will be lost for ever. An India without the trumpeting of the startled elephant, without the sharp alarm call of the Chital, without the dank smell of her forests, without the thud of the hooves of the wild Ass will simply not be worth living in. I hope that the India of Corbett and Kenneth Anderson will not live only in the pages of history.
I am sure together we will make a difference.
