Obituary
Mr. A.S. Negi
We have known Mr. A. S. Negi, former Director of Corbett Tiger Reserve and former Chief Wildlife Warden of Uttarakhand, for over 20 years. He was progressive and really impressed us with his practical knowledge, his willingness to help, and his deep-rooted passion for wildlife. When he became the Park Director at Corbett National Park more than 20 years ago, he conducted the very first Nature Guide training course and we were very proud to be a part of it. He has left a huge imprint on our lives and his passing has left a huge void in our hearts. We will miss him dearly. May his soul rest in peace.

| INDIAN PYTHON RESCUED IN KANHA |
TCF-Kanha rescued an Indian Python (Python molurus), a Near Threatened species from a village near Kanha Tiger Reserve. This snake, about 5 feet in length and weighing 5.5 kg, was found sneaking out of a home, probably after feasting on a rat. It is important to inform the villagers that snakes such as python are non-venomous, and are primarily here to keep the fields free of rat infestations. |

TCF-Kanha organised a series of health awareness programmes in villages around Kanha Tiger Reserve and Kanha-Pench Corridor focusing on water borne diseases and malaria awareness. TCF distributed hypo chloride solutions to villagers for community wells for the prevention of water borne diseases and preventive methods were explained to students for malaria prevention.

| TCF'S ARTICLE IN TWINKLE STAR |
An article on the basics of binomial nomenclature and taxonomy was published for kids in The Hitavada’s Twinkle Star magazine. This article looks at the history of binomial nomenclature, some fun facts, and the importance of the field of taxonomy in wildlife conservation. It aimed at encouraging students to look at this rather shrouded field of biology as an exciting opportunity to explore and discover new organisms and strive to protect them.
