For instance, in Arunachal, I ask these folks many many questions pertinent to forests and shifting cultivation. The hunters in the community also have lot of species-level information. And well, there is also the field of traditional medicinal knowledge which organisations such as FRLHT (http://www.frlht.org.in/) are documenting. And these are just couple of instances, I am sure there are lots more.

True Karthik! I hope the next generation has few such Shamraos left to meet and learn from! I am sure, with forests we are also losing the Shamraos!
