About Indian Birds: Including Birds of Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Pakistan & Bangladesh

Salim Ali was as active in the field of conservation as he was in ornithology.  He was probably the only person who had traveled to all the obscure regions of the Indian Subcontinent at one time or another of his life and knew the country, its forests and its birdlife intimately.  He lived and worked for the birds of his land, to present these ethereal spirits of the air to his countrymen and to the world.
