Hi, this is episode 1 of HOPE, a podcast established under the UN75 initiative which aims to engage in conversation with experts about their role in different fields in relation to the Sustainable Development Goals.

In this episode, our team member, Alyssa Nagrath converses with Mrs. Purnima Devi Barman, a world renowned environmentalist about her movement to protect the greater adjutant stork, the struggles she faced as a woman working in remote areas for various communities, interesting and amusing anecdotes from working on the ground, the formation of her 'Hargila Army' and how she truly worked for life on land. Listen in to get your dose of hope :)
