Thanks to the untiring efforts of local conservationists spearheaded by the indomitable JG, in 1971, Eravikulam was declared a wildlife sanctuary and eventually a National Park in 1978 — Kerala’s first. JG lived to see his cherished dream come true. Before leaving India, he made an impassioned appeal to all concerned (through the visitors’ logbook at Eravikulam) to leave the park’s pristine splendour untouched — a request that has, thankfully, been heeded so far.
