The woods are lovely..

This revisit for field work has meant an opportunity to go back to most of the villages and forests that I have worked in, in the past 10 years. I have always come away each day after field work with a feeling of contentment because honestly the forests are looking as lovely as they did from before. They may not have grown in size, but somehow look better in quality and yes in some places they have grown more dense in abandoned agricultural sites. I wish I could say the same for the adivasi villages and people though.
