For the river, the god, the prophet which was filled with human filth… some relief in the form of fragrance. I followed the ritual the next day when we visited the island again, to talk to the caretaker faqeer (a holy man). I closed my eyes, offered the river fragrant rose petals, and prayed for her healing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/49c47e0b-f517-4239-9f86-d71c965b2e99/Indus_river_puja_pakistan.jpg Blog - Darya Panth - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/6fd0bc05-9a9f-4cc3-95c3-7a30774f436e/Sindhu_river_boat.jpg Blog - Darya Panth - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/7275ed2b-6cc7-4021-802f-3497e451daee/Khwaja_Khizr_Sindhu_saint_god.jpg Blog - Darya Panth - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.itswildouthere.com/blog/how-to-sing-to-mushrooms monthly 0.5 2025-07-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/72fa758c-1933-4676-832e-d5f861ebbc36/mushroom_meghalaya_khasi_3.jpg Blog - How to sing to mushrooms - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/7ea1a943-dbef-487a-b7a1-cbb5dc7bf5ad/mushroom_meghalaya_khasi_garo.jpg Blog - How to sing to mushrooms - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/63693d2a-00eb-4dfe-a9ea-a2f0d9a33392/mushroom_meghalaya_khasi_5.jpg Blog - How to sing to mushrooms - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/5d18d801-e446-446c-aa66-3f248c743c06/mushroom_meghalaya_khasi_2.jpg Blog - How to sing to mushrooms - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/3033a8ca-68b9-4ae8-bc96-04d51697a6c7/mushroom_meghalaya_khasi_4.jpg Blog - How to sing to mushrooms - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/e5826d94-bb1f-4adf-97f6-945eb6d3bba7/finding_the_mother_tree_suzanne_simmard.jpg Blog - How to sing to mushrooms - I started reading it with my third cup of coffee, and by the time my boarding call came, I had fallen deep into the forest floor. By the time I took my seat on the plane, I was dragged underground into an intelligent world of mycelium webs I didn’t know existed. It was like stepping into Narnia, but instead of Professor Digory Kirke's house, it was the airport bookshop. And instead of a magical wardrobe, it was Suzanne Simard's Finding the Mother Tree. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/0bbc1feb-e11a-42fe-802c-f9c4265fa74e/mushroom_meghalaya_khasi_1.jpg Blog - How to sing to mushrooms - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.itswildouthere.com/blog/rivers-in-deep-time monthly 0.5 2025-06-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/89baf8fd-ba78-41f5-b6db-0353ff99794f/brahmaputra_map.jpg Blog - Rivers in Deep Time - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/cc6f86e4-5ae4-4346-9eff-a53e5d29ab40/People+of+the+river.jpeg Blog - Rivers in Deep Time - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/527dc5b0-f7cc-4b3a-b563-efce6747edbc/braided_rivers_brahmaputra_NASA_landsat_1.gif Blog - Rivers in Deep Time https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/9a8cabe3-b779-43dc-9a17-bced020083db/Brahmaputra+river.jpeg Blog - Rivers in Deep Time - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/be2b4982-d865-4f2b-beb2-939ef2e5e37f/Rivers-of-the-Asian-Highlands.jpg Blog - Rivers in Deep Time - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/46201bc1-ec64-4496-b5a9-5f4970edaccf/20181211_nu9.gif Blog - Rivers in Deep Time - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/dd605277-89b1-4266-9be2-2c23f59e8c6e/Siang+River.jpeg Blog - Rivers in Deep Time - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/96f95111-9a49-4d1e-bb5c-f8de8b36a0ea/Siang+river+Arunachal+Pradesh.jpeg Blog - Rivers in Deep Time - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.itswildouthere.com/blog/far-from-the-forest monthly 0.5 2025-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/53579e2a-f98a-425d-8d35-b0160fa02d32/nature_conservation_assam_indigenous.jpg Blog - Far from the Forest - “Colonialism didn’t just steal land - it rewrote the story of nature.

It maintains ecological balance, promotes biodiversity, and showcases a deep symbiosis between indigenous communities and their environment. Unlike commercial farming, which often focuses on monoculture – growing just one crop per plot – jhum cultivation can support over 50 different crops on a single piece of land. This diversity not only ensures food security but also protects against pests and diseases, making it inherently resilient. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/09567407-e160-4c76-b3a4-9c24f2df5a19/IMG_6571.jpg Blog - Far from the Forest - The misconception that oral societies are inferior to literate ones persists, yet this notion is deeply flawed. Oral cultures have their own intricate systems for preserving knowledge, often through folk songs, stories, idioms, and even textile motifs. Unlike written societies, these methods create a holistic, communal approach to knowledge-sharing, where the entire society participates in maintaining its legacy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/cd50766c-c734-42ca-b7d0-df4247e534dc/community_indigenous_wisdom_assam.gif Blog - Far from the Forest Throughout this film, the team immerses themselves in the intimate spaces of the community – homes, kitchens, shared conversations – observing and questioning assumptions we often take for granted. The film challenges the stereotype that indigenous communities are "stuck in the past." Far from it. These communities are incredibly adaptive, seamlessly blending old and new in ways that ensure survival while preserving identity. It’s a kind of resilience that feels increasingly rare, and one we could all stand to learn from. https://www.itswildouthere.com/blog/the-big-cats-and-the-almost-cats monthly 0.5 2025-01-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/661d583c-6d11-4aea-a07b-f4e6fa952b1b/leopard_illustration.png Blog - “I smell something in the attic!” - I remember Aita (grandmother) and my Mama (uncle) looking uncharacteristically grim. The telephone, usually as silent as a sleepy pond, came to life, ringing incessantly. Mama stayed home from work. The front door, normally flung open to welcome the sun and breeze, was bolted shut. Its curtain, usually a cheerful thing that danced in the wind, hung limp and sullen. Outside, the street lay deserted—not a soul on foot or bicycle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/d88166c6-4613-431f-8ddb-95ee7805f1ef/1490344287.jpg Blog - “I smell something in the attic!” - Make it stand out Image source: Zoological Society of London https://www.itswildouthere.com/blog/a-big-nod-to-oil-mining-and-a-giant-finger-to-the-gibbon-sanctuary monthly 0.5 2024-09-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/e64deade-3b80-44be-ac8d-b36237dd0b56/gibbons_assam_oil_mining.jpg Blog - Assam gives a big nod to oil mining, and a giant finger to the Gibbon Sanctuary. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/594b2b5d-02ba-4abf-9099-fcc9b0ed72bd/gibbons_assam_oil_mining_conservation.jpg Blog - Assam gives a big nod to oil mining, and a giant finger to the Gibbon Sanctuary. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.itswildouthere.com/blog/every-50-years-a-flower-meets-fear-in-the-forests-of-mizo-hills monthly 0.5 2024-08-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/c3859d26-9211-45b7-86a4-2d330735dca1/Mizoram_famine_rates_Mautak_bamboo.gif Blog - Every 50 years, flowers and fear bloom in the forests of the Mizo hills. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/a2118bf7-74ec-450c-85c3-229c513fb8bc/melocanna_baccifera_mizoram_rats_famine_mautam_bamboo.jpg Blog - Every 50 years, flowers and fear bloom in the forests of the Mizo hills. - Image: A Kew Herbarium specimen of Melocanna baccifera, known as Mautak in Mizoram, the most abundant bamboo species in the state's forests. It was as if the very land itself had a heartbeat, pulsing every few decades with the same tragic rhythm. The Mizos, with their deep reverence for nature, had tuned into this heartbeat long before the Europeans ever set foot on their soil. In doing so, they not only survived the harsh cycles of famine but also left behind a legacy of knowledge that would be remembered for generations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/2ff5cfbd-aa4c-4674-9a8b-b6b1e76bba69/bamboo_flower_seeds_mizoram_famine_rats.jpg Blog - Every 50 years, flowers and fear bloom in the forests of the Mizo hills. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.itswildouthere.com/blog/bullets-for-breakfast monthly 0.5 2024-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/f508a7dc-31dc-4bed-9df5-425bd7601bd5/illustration_english_tea_breakfast.jpg Blog - Bullets for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/2367765e-55c5-4e26-b5e8-432ecdf93be2/Fortune_Louis_Meaulle_and_Henri_Meyer_-_The_Battle_of_Manipur_from_Le_Petit_Journal_2nd_May_1891.jpg Blog - Bullets for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch. - Make it stand out The Battle of Manipur from 'Le Petit Journal', 2nd May 1891 (coloured engraving) by Fortune Louis Meaulle and Henri Meyer.

A team from Conservation India visited the Wokha region at a critical time. The Amur Falcon is covered under the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS) and are also protected by national legislation in India. This was illegal harvesting on a scale that was completely unsustainable. They spearheaded an impactful campaign that triggered worldwide outrage, leading conservationists to unite in protecting the falcons. The Indian government responded immediately. Together with the Nagaland Forest Department, an armed Forest Patrol Force was deployed to visit the area, remove the nets used to trap the falcons and to release any captive birds that were found alive. https://www.itswildouthere.com/blog/robert-gosset-woodthorpes-sketches-from-nagaland monthly 0.5 2024-08-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/1722663890329-G9BB53PUXFDD8R47QCV8/04.jpg Blog - Robert Gosset Woodthorpe’s sketches from Nagaland. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/1722663890692-D66Z7CMF604H82R7DW98/05.jpg Blog - Robert Gosset Woodthorpe’s sketches from Nagaland. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/1722663899379-TNHBYBPT2WG7388QPW6H/06.jpg Blog - Robert Gosset Woodthorpe’s sketches from Nagaland. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/1722663899895-NKH60425BZOZOTBKVIH9/07.jpg Blog - Robert Gosset Woodthorpe’s sketches from Nagaland. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/1722663906199-2YYI5ZILCWH02C3A99VK/08.jpg Blog - Robert Gosset Woodthorpe’s sketches from Nagaland. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/1722663905633-NZ2R719T0KOCFCSXG6SK/09.jpg Blog - Robert Gosset Woodthorpe’s sketches from Nagaland. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/1722663908913-O3LYE16AERZLR56YK0O4/10.jpg Blog - Robert Gosset Woodthorpe’s sketches from Nagaland. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/1722663910394-2CQMID3YKNYCWWG9FKGA/03.jpg Blog - Robert Gosset Woodthorpe’s sketches from Nagaland. https://www.itswildouthere.com/blog/guided-by-legends monthly 0.5 2024-07-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/6f4a0a63-d34a-49cf-9558-e2305cc6b64b/U+Thlen_Meghalaya_Myth_Folktale.jpg Blog - Guided by Legends: - In the lush, rolling hills of Meghalaya, amongst many myths, there lurks another.

Where the Leteku trees once stood, there was now an industrial plant. Its cold, metallic structure sat heavy on the chest of the forest. The air was thick, with the acrid smell of machinery, and the songs of birds were replaced by the hum of engines. https://www.itswildouthere.com/blog/the-cost-of-the-forest-meat monthly 0.5 2024-07-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/d48e69ca-02ca-4a68-8356-7fba46e26fda/Illustration_sikkim_river_fishing_mugwort_indegenious.jpg Blog - The Cost of the Forest Meat - The men wasted no time. Aching hurried to gather Tuknyal* leaves known to have a numbing effect on fish. Meanwhile, Angok skillfully mashed the leaves into a paste and handed it to Anum.

Not that I didn’t try. But every time I went in, a giant huntsman spider would be there, staring at me from under the flush tank.

I’d be lying if I said I don’t have the urge to immediately whack them as soon as I see them.” https://www.itswildouthere.com/blog/wildlife-watching-binoculars-for-the-true-enthusiast monthly 0.5 2024-07-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/ea469957-f67f-4847-bb9f-f50b66102ead/Bird+illustration.jpg Blog - Wildlife Watching: Binoculars for the True Enthusiast - Nature enthusiast? 5 reasons to invest in binoculars before a camera. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6485b7ff37a5193a1491e1d2/de1d3b19-7bf0-425f-8cb7-fc7cdef80d33/wildlife+photography.jpg Blog - Wildlife Watching: Binoculars for the True Enthusiast - Make it stand out From one of our trips to Manas National Park in Assam.
