It has been over nine years since restoration ecologist Vasanth Bosco set out to restore the rolling grasslands and the clumps of stunted evergreen trees with dense canopies — the sholas — in the upper reaches of the Nilgiris. The researcher has now released a song ‘Wanna hear you sing’ on various platforms including YouTube, Spotify and Apple music. “I worked on this song during the lockdown. During my long walks and bicycle rides in the forests, I have been thinking about the natural spaces and what they had been subject to over the couple of years. It inspired me to come up with this song.”
