Hargila was once a regular feature of our eco-system and even featured in the emblem of Calcutta Municipal Corporation. However, due to climate change, urbanisation, and poor impression among the public, these

Ever thought a bird could change a village? In Assam, the Greater Adjutant, once feared and shunned, found its unlikely heroes. Led by Dr Purnima Devi Barman, thousands of rural women formed the Hargila Army, working year after year to protect nesting trees, rescue fallen chicks, and shift hearts. From just a few nests, their efforts helped the population soar. Their efforts transformed the stork’s population from just 450 to over 1,800. Today, the Greater Adjutant is no longer a bird to fear —
