00:04 Maraun Booth's project actually began

00:13 We choose people not on the basis of their qualifications,
00:16 but on the basis of their heart and what they do.
00:19 These are people who come from different ecosystems.
00:22 There's somebody up in the Himalaya.
00:23 There's somebody somewhere in Rajaji.
00:25 There's another person somewhere in the Northeast.
00:28 So we have wonderful human beings as project leaders.
00:30 I mean, Marina, for instance, works supported
00:33 by the Jerry Martin Project.
00:35 And she's doing the simplest of simple things.
00:37 She's trying to prevent people dying from snake bite.
00:40 I believe that these are the people on whose shoulders
00:43 the entire conservation movement, not just of India,
00:45 but the whole world rests.
00:49 The country, the future, the world belongs to these people.
00:52 They've got mud on their boots.
00:53 We've got to make sure that there
00:55 Is there some mud left in this world and not replaced by cement?
