Forestry Dept to dig water holes for animals

Big purrs for this one.
In the Aravallis area of India it is very hot and dry and there is little water available for wild animals. The Forestry Department is digging watering holes for the wild animals so they can survive.

This is a tremendous effort to help the animals that are suffering because of the lack of water.  No doubt the drought conditions are partly a result of human activity. We do have that effect on things. Still it is an effort to make things right and we should commend it.

That is very thoughtful of them. It is good news to hear. I have heard that the temperatures are terribly high in some parts of India right now. It must be awful for anyone living there including all the creatures.

We are seeing real temperature extremes in different parts of the world.  We are going to have to work at protecting water and making it available.

Digging watering holes is a big effort to help animals caught in extreme heat. Many might not survive without the help.
