Community pioneers, next-generation nurturers, forest defenders and wildlife protectors, Kheer Babu and Mahila Bai are trailblazers.
A part of the Pardhi community, which has long been vilified as destroyers of wildlife, Kheer and Mahila gave up traditional hunting a decade ago, and have since become hugely effective defenders of the Panna Tiger Reserve. By collaborating with the Madhya Pradesh Forest Department, WWF-India and the Last Wilderness Foundation, they have steered Pardhi youth away from hunting, and convinced Pardhi elders to send their children to school -- the first generation to receive a formal education. Their work has brought peace between their community and the Forest Department. They have successfully turned their community’s traditional hunting skills to the defence of Panna’s endangered wildlife, inspiring others in their community to follow their path.
