Book Description
Early one morning Raghu and Dhani find an unusual bustle at school. Someone important is to speak in the morning assembly. Mr C. K. Nair of Kerala Sashtra Sahitya Parishad informs them about the Silent Valley Movement and how ecology of the Silent Valley, natural rainforests of Kerala, would get destroyed because the government wants to clear a part of the forest to create a reservoir. Is this a bigger trouble than anyone could ever have imagined! Does development justify destroying an entire ecosystem? Is this sacrifice worthwhile? Raghu and Dhani are left wondering. On a school trip soon, a thin, stooping man with binoculars around his neck uncovers the magic of the silent valley for Raghu and Dhani. In the forest, they spot a lion-tailed macaque, Nilgiri wood pigeon, Malabar parakeet, the great Indian hornbill and marvel at the sparkling waters of Kunthipuzha river and the many shades of green. Who is this mysterious old man? Will this paradise get destroyed? Will Raghu and Dhani join the Silent Valley movement? Other titles in the series: Bapu and the Missing Blue Pencil Rao Jodha and the Curse of the Hermit Tagore and the Song of the Crazy Wind King Ashoka and the Garden of Herbs The Forests belong to us The River of Life About the series: Caring for Nature series focuses on some important unforgettable stories of peoples movements, such as Chipko Andolan and Silent Valley Movement, among others to save their forests, rivers, or land from greedy interests.

Book Description
Silent Valley, situated in Palakkad district of Kerala in the southern Western Ghats, is one of the richest, most threatened and least studied forest tracts in India. Silent Valley caught international attention a decade ago when the people, with the moral support of conservationists in India and abroad including international bodies like the IUCN, WWF etc. campaigned to save Silent Valley from being submerged in the reservoir of a hydroelectric project. This unprecedented movement heralded a new epoch of environmental awareness and ecological ethics. Silent Valley was subsequently declared a National Park in 1984 as a precious gift to the posterity and it became a symbol of nature conservation in the country. / This anthology brought out by the Kerala Forest Department contains 38 articles in four parts. The first part narrates the historical evolution and the second delineates the managerial evolution of the Silent Valley National Park. The third and fourth parts deal with the flora and fauna and their conservation strategies. Spectacular photographs by eminent nature photographers adorn the pages, offering but a glimpse of the treasures of Silent Valley. Unique in contents and treatment, this volume, like the success story of the Silent Valley Movement, is a tribute to Nature and vouches for what can be achieved when naturalists, forestry experts and scientists join hands for the cause of conservation.
