One of the founding members of the Madras Naturalist Society was Mr RKG Menon. It was a name that I had heard, but I had not really bothered to find out more. He passed away a year ago, and I came across this interesting tribute to the man, his mission, passion and kindness.Lone palm tree, Sir! | eco logic
Here's a colourful quote from the man, in the article.
“Write it down. If you think its all in your memory, it is not worth it. It’s just kaka-pee [crow-shit]“
There's a whole website now dedicated to his papers, jottings and observations. Its a stupendous collection of work on The Blackbuck.
A wonderful way to remember him and salute his work, and a great reference tool for greenhorns like me.
Blackbuck and Chital at the GNP - a favourite subject for Cutlet
