Wildlife biologist Purnima Devi Barman remembers the first time she ever saw the nest of a greater adjutant stork (秃鹅) in a tree near her grandmother's home. Her grandmother would tell her stories about birds and animals under the tree. The love for the natural world developed in those years led Barman to devote her life to saving the endangered greater adjutant stork.

Known as the Hargila in Assam, the greater adjutant stork is the second-rarest stork in the world. Unlike pandas or lions, whose attractive appearances help gain widespread support for their protection, these tall, bald, clumsy birds meet with bias in conservation campaigns.

"Hargilas also bear a reputation of bringing bad luck," says Barman. “What was the point of writing my paper on them if there was no way of actually saving these birds? I had to start with changing the misconception."

Not one to shy away from a challenge, Barman put her PhD on hold and set to work. “I started engaging with the women in the village. In our experience, educating and securing the participation of women ensures that the learning passes on to the next generation," Burman says.

Today, around 400 women have been trained to work on conserving this rare bird. The group's activities include awareness-building in schools and plantation drives in which 45,000 trees were planted to support the stork's future populations.

A key component allowing Barman to successfully integrate conservation efforts into the village cultural life was her idea of building related livelihoods. Weaving(纺织) is a long-standing craft in Assam, so Barman created a self-help group employing women to weave stork patterns on textiles. This innovative idea was highlighted at the UN Champion of the Earth Awards she won in 2022.

Currently the number of greater adjutant nests in Assam's Kamrup district has grown from 28 in 2010 to more than 250. The once unlucky stork is now a symbol of community
