International Womens Day In India

Wildlife biologist and conservationist Purnima Devi Barman leads members of the ''Hargila Army'' in a ''Web of Life'' activity during a community awareness session on saving the endangered Greater Adjutant Stork on International Women's Day, in Kamrup, India, on March 8, 2026, at Dadara village. The Hargila Army is a unique all-women conservation group from Assam, India, founded by renowned wildlife biologist Dr. Purnima Devi Barman. The word ''Hargila'' refers to the Greater Adjutant Stork, a large bird that is once considered a nuisance and faces severe population decline due to habitat loss and negative perceptions. Barman mobilizes local village women, mainly homemakers, turning them into conservation champions to protect the nesting sites of these endangered birds. (Photo by David Talukdar/NurPhoto)
