Wildlife Conservation Awareness Program
The organization has published many rare books on Orissa’s
wildlife, PUGS (1999), UNTAMED ORISSA (2000) and TIGERS ON THE
BRINK-AN ORISSA STORY (2003) in an effort to disseminate and to
spread the message of Orissa’s wildlife to the outside world.
‘Wild Orissa’ expects that this would one day help in conserving
our little known wildlife areas. ‘Dambaru’ the quarterly
newsletter of ‘Wild Orissa’ has been its mouthpiece right from the
day the organization has been born, and upto date 26 issues have
seen the light of day. ‘Wild Orissa’ also attempted spreading the
message of wildlife conservation through the medium of wildlife
photography when during the year 1999 a wildlife photograph
exhibition was organized by the organization at Bhubaneswar.
Further another exhibition was organized at Bhubaneswar in the
year 2003, which was witnessed by His Excellency The Governor of
Orissa. For the first time in the state of Orissa wildlife was
celebrated in major way. ‘Wild Orissa’ organized WILDLIFE AFFAIRS
during the first week of October 2004, involving events like
wildlife photograph exhibition, essay competitions on wildlife,
painting competitions on wildlife, etc. This event was organized
during 2005 and 2006 as well. During the year 2006, the organizing
of Wildlife Affairs was at 4 different places in Orissa, i.e. Rayagada, Sambalpur, Jashipur and Balasore, in an effort to reach
across to the populace in the hinterlands of the state.
