83-year-old Halakki tribal woman Tulasi Gowda has been awarded Padma Shri for her outstanding contribution to conservation. https://india.mongabay.com/2020/02/vi...
In the 50 years that Gowda worked at the forest department’s nursery in Honnalli village in Uttara Kannada district of Karnataka, she is said to have planted hundreds of thousands of trees and helped regenerate many indigenous trees with her understanding of the wild flora.
Gowda has won many awards in the past including Indira Priyadarshini Vrukshamitra award and Kannada Rajyotsava award before the Padma Shri came her way in 2020. While the recognition makes her happy, Tulasi Gowda says that the forest and its trees make her happier.
