The second wave of COVID-19 in India has devastated entire families with very high infection and mortality rates. In all the lockdowns imposed, frontline forest staff and wildlife conservationists continue to work in the field day in and out to protect wildlife. Unlike most of us, they cannot work from home. As per our record From March 2021, till date, we have received information of close to 300 conservation heroes who were lost to COVID-19 (based on the information that reached us). This appeal is to honour their life committed to conservation and provide immediate ex-gratia support to their next-of-kin.
