Artists and storytellers come together for a children’s book on endangered animals Around 5,000 children living close to the Western Ghats in Karnataka have a new book to read and learn from. The picture-story book
Will You Play With Me? featuring endangered wild animals of the Western Ghats has been created solely to distribute among children of the region to create understanding and empathy towards animals.
