00:00 The villagers of Mangla Jodi were engaged in rampant poaching of the birds.
00:07 Then RBS Foundation and Indian Grameen Services decided to reverse the situation by introducing
00:15 ecotourism.
00:16 The villagers' economic condition was not so stable, so poaching contributed their livelihood
00:23 basket.
00:26 Once they changed their mindsets, then they have been involved in each and every part
00:31 of this journey.
00:33 The ecotourism enterprise has been established as a trust and all the transactions happened
00:40 are benefiting the local communities.
00:42 We give more importance to the conservation of birds because that is why we get small
00:49 jobs.
00:50 By conducting this, we have become more educated and we are learning more and better things.
