The Gir forest, India, is the sole home of the Asiatic lion. Before this area was declared a protected zone in 1900, there were only 12 Asiatic lions left in Gir.
Today, this number has risen to 523 and much of the credit goes to Gir’s all-women rescue team who have rescued 627 lions over the years.

The World’s Moral Compass
Elie Wiesel......a man not filled with hate, but with sadness and determination. Sadness over all those who were lost, and determination to honor their memory with action and impact.
Elie may have left us, but we still hear his gentle voice, telling us what he would say to anyone who would listen: that people of good conscience have a moral obligation to speak out, be heard, and fight bigotry.

May, Sturgeon, Merkel
There is an increasingly widespread sense that strong female leaders are needed to ‘clean up the mess created by men’.
Mara Delius, writer for the German daily newspaper Die Welt, said these ladies were, “postmodern Elektras in trouser suits and rubber gloves”. Thank goodness, the piece suggested, Europe looked at last to be in safe (female) hands.

Melanie Wilkes from Gone With The Wind turns 100
Two-time Oscar-winning actress Olivia de Havilland turned 100 on the 1st of July and says that living a century has been quite the journey. [I’m] content with the role that life has given me: a centenarian!” de Havilland told People Magazine in a recent interview to mark her milestone birthday.
As for the secret to living an entire century? De Havilland seems to have an active lifestyle, climbing the five stories of her Parisian home every day. And she does The Times crossword puzzle daily without fail, which we know helps keep your mind razor sharp.
Other than that, her advice is simple. Live by “the three L’s” she told Vanity Fair. “Love, laughter, and light.”

A maid is not an equal
Unbelievable...
After two decades of toil, Archana Bera has realised that money cannot you help you choose your neighbours, even in a 'progressive' city like Kolkata. The 55-year-old ayah has been denied a flat in Dhakuria — a popular residential locality in south Kolkata — because the other apartment owners did not want a "maid" as a neighbour.
