let’s make our planet greener!
For people like me from mountain communities, the forest is a sacred space, the one we enter for our annual rituals, cautious not to litter or shout within its realm. Animals were introduced to us through their scat and footprints. Our worlds were small, and resources seemed sufficient, abundant even, in the mountains, and threats were something fictional that existed only for people living far away.
The Great Nicobar Journey by Tansy Troy, published by Talking Cub is a deeply empathetic story about friendship, resistance, and the fight to protect our one beautiful planet we know as home. In this adventure novel, a group of animals from the Andaman and Nicobar islands travel across mainland India to meet the decision makers in Delhi in a bid to save their home. Along the way they meet endangered animals, members from the tribal communities and allies.
