Sanjay Van

This guide to Sanjay Van, a nearly eight-hundred-acre stretch of Aravalli forest in South Delhi, opens with the jackals, nilgai and more than a hundred and fifty bird species that share it with medieval ruins. It turns to Air Vice Marshal Vinod Rawat, who found the forest overrun by an invasive thorn tree and dumping grounds after losing his wife, and the twelve-year restoration effort his organization Working With Nature carried out. Listen for the jackals as the light fades, calling here since long before the city that surrounds them.
