\"Such
Such graceful birds are flamingoes Especially in their flight The flock of pink and white arrows Make a breath-taking sight. As they fly thousand miles away from Siberia to India To grow, breed and prosper Our winged-friends accidently stay Caught in wires, dead or injured. We build cities high and tall With tall and thick cables for electricity Is heavy urbanizing near the breeding ground? For our survival a real necessity? Poetry by- Dr. Meena Bilgi Development Practitioner (Gender/Social Development & Natural Resources Management) Painting by- Praful Bilgi; Artist & Coordinator (Interpretations)
\"In
In the forests and the villages- Big and Small Animals and Birds live with us. Not only deer, cats and dogs But rabbits, snakes and the mighty crane Gradually as we move away from the forests and the villages Or as we work hard to, say, Give the rural an urban crown, We turn the green pastures, grey Increase the smoke, we can't deny. Not only do we drive our life-savers away, Many a times we let them die. Why do we crush them for our own living? Why do we choose to become traitors? Why do we later cry for our own survival? If we call ourselves the most powerful Can’t we be better Conservators? Poetry by- Dr. Meena Bilgi Development Practitioner (Gender/Social Development & Natural Resources Management) Painting by- Praful Bilgi; Artist & Coordinator (Interpretations)
