This is the blog of Satpuda Foundation and Nature Conservation Society of Amravati. We work to protect wildlife and the forests of the Satpuda Tiger Landscape of central India. Even though most of us are city-dwellers. This blog is about how we urbanites can help to stem the tide and save our national animal from extinction. And in turn, save ourselves.

I agree with both Bekoff and Marian Dawkins actually. I think it's bad science and bad logic to believe humans are completely different from other animals, and Bekoff is quite right when he talks of "identifying commonalities." But anthropomorphism can lead to a lot of problems as well, and can lead to misunderstandings between us and other species.
