Kishore felt that Dr.Bishan needed recognition and acknowledgement for his stellar articles in CLN; so also the encouraging progress that CWS is doing for environment related conservation and for initiating work in partnership with the forest department.
There is a lot that can be done in educating youngsters and adults to appreciate the need to regenerate and regreen our forests, while actively working to provide the much needed space for all creatures living in this precious planet to co-exist. There are silent initiatives and we can only hope that over a period of time these become major sustained and enduring initiatives. – CLN Newsdesk

I have always admired Kishore’s visualisation. He has a wonderful way of looking beyond the obvious and bringing out perspective that makes us pause, reflect and appreciate the deeper meaning..
A wonderful initiative that deserves appreciation. Recognising Dr.Bishan for his valuable contributions through his pictures acknowledging CWS for its efforts towards environmental conservation is truly encouraging.
Dr Bishan is an excellent wildlife photographer and very good writer too.
Extremely nice visualization by Mr Kishore. And perhaps this can be seen as a motivational post for Dr Bishan Monnappa to consolidate his images and writings into separate books on Birds, Butterflies and one on Poems too!
Extremely well presented by Kishore – so relevant for all Nature lovers of a very rich and diverse array of butterflies in the western ghats – perfect for Lepidopterologists.
The Western Ghats is a biodiversity hotspot, and home to some 336 species of butterflies, 12% of which are endemic. These fragile insects serve as bioindicators and contribute to complex predator-prey relationships. Studying butterflies provides insights into ecological interactions, climate change impacts and conservation needs.
The study area in Garvale, Kodagu district, is characterized by diverse agro-ecosystems, including coffee plantations, areca orchards, rice paddies and pocket forests. A pioneering survey from June 2022 to June 2024 recorded 109 butterfly species (32% of the Western Ghats total).
