India’s forests once echoed with sounds that no longer exist.bGrasslands once witnessed lightning-fast cheetahs chasing prey. Wetlands carried the footsteps of rare rhinos. Mountain slopes hid mysterious birds that vanished without a trace. But today, many of these creatures exist only in old paintings, forgotten records, and fading memories. What makes this even more heartbreaking is that most of them did not disappear naturally. They vanished slowly because humans changed the forests faster than wildlife could survive. And some of these lost animals may never return again.
