Patriarchy And The Pangolin: A Field Guide To Indian Men And Other Species / - Delhi Hachette, 2020 - 206p. 19 cm.

Includes index

When two young women are hired to carry out conservation research, they discover that India is a large jungle - larger than they ever imagined. Their study of trees reveals a complex world in which the greatest threat to pangolins and imperilled species is Indian men and patriarchy. Tramping across North India, the women encounter men, man-made obstacles, and bureaucratic corruption, but forge ahead with satire and self-deprecating humour. Their many stories give us the voices of people and species oppressed or marginalised.
