Indian conservationist Dr. Purnima Devi Barman mobilized indigenous women and established the Hargila Army, an all-female conservation community of 10,000 members.
Saving the Greater Adjutant stork
A rewilding revolution
The Greater Adjutant stork, locally called Hargila, is an endangered bird (IUCN red list) found in India and Cambodia. There are about 1200 birds left and the population is decreasing. To save the Hargila— a gentle giant that typically stands at the height of 5 feet , Purnima started working with rural communities in Assam. Together, they transformed the bird from a bad omen into a cultural icon. Today, Assam communities celebrate the Hargila, which became an integral part of their culture.
