During the 2010 expedition to India, the boys visited the caves at Meghalaya. We therefore print this appeal, in the hope that some of you out in bloggoland will be interested...The caves of Meghalaya are under threat from the mining lobby. Each day, millions of years of nature's labour of love are reduced to rubble filled into bags and sent off somewhere around the world to build some concrete monstrosity that won't even last 200 years. To highlight this tragedy, I am working on a "countdown" calendar for the year 2012, to showcase the exquisite beauty of the caves in the Khasi, Jaintia and Garo Hills of Meghalaya in the hope that people will rally together to preserve and protect them.
This call goes out to spelunkers, (cave explorers), adventurers, explorers, scientists, photographers, geo-palenteologists, naturalists or photographers. to contribute to this effort by sending me photographs to use in high resolution of these caves along with a brief description. Any photographs used in the calendar will have the mugshot of the photographer, a 50-word profile and the picture credit. Geo-tags if available too will be most appreciated. Please come forward and contribute from your collection towards this campaign that aims at saving another precious natural treasure from biting the dust!
