Thomas Rengma: Will Be Missed

Deeply saddened to report that Thomas Rengma, wildlifer, environmentalist, and above all a great human being from Nagaland, passed away on 27  January 2017. Another very untimely death. Thomas was with the Tourism Dept there. Kalpavriksh first encountered him about 30 years back, and several times in the last few years on our trips to the state in relation to community conservation or communitisation. Incredibly helpful, always willing to go out of his way to help us arrange things, welcoming us to his (and his partner Lucy’s) house, and much else. You will be missed, Thomas
