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.

Gond dancers at Sawra, Pench
Villagers at Sawra (near Pench, Maharashtra) have decided to revive their traditional dances in an effort to preserve and showcase their rich culture. SF is encouraging this initiative. It is hoped that tourists going to Pench National Park will also visit local villages to understand the tribal traditions of the area.
The video shows one of the dancers' practice sessions at the village school.
