Banswara is a small village in a rather remote part of Western Rajasthan. If tourists do visit this area, it is to see watch the Leopards who live in the rocky hills just outside the town. In Banswara the local Maharaja has started a business taking tourists out to this rocky outcrop in the hope of seeing the Leopards. They have also spent time educating the local shepherds in conservation, and now these shepherds do not kill leopards or for that matter the rare locals hyenas to protect their flocks of goats. These shepherds now keep watch on all these animals, ensuring poachers and people from outside the area do not harm them. Consequently the leopard population is now increasing, tourists are visiting and the whole community is benefitting. I was rather taken with these shepherds, protecting not only their goats but the local leopards and the hyenas. Traditionally wearing coloured turbans and red outfits, they immaculately stand out in the arid dry environment of Banswara as they keep watch.
