🎧 Event Description:
What if a village known for hunting became a model for wildlife conservation?

Join us for an eye-opening conversation with Dr. Wepeye Mekrisuh, the visionary geologist behind the world’s first community-led reserve for Mrs. Hume’s Pheasant in Jessami, Manipur. In this episode, you'll discover how deep-rooted traditions were transformed into a movement of ecological pride — where former hunters became protectors of endangered wildlife.

Listeners will gain:

• Insights into community-led conservation models

• Real-world inspiration on how to blend tradition with sustainability

• Ideas for using eco-tourism to boost local livelihoods

• A powerful example of how systemic change begins at the grassroots

Whether you're a conservationist, policymaker, student, or storyteller, this is a session that will transform how you think about people and the wild.

Don’t miss this chance to learn from a story that’s as local as it is global.
