In the world of butterflies, odonates, and dragonflies, Kumaresan Chandrabose takes a rebirth as an inquisitive kid. When the colorful flies flap their wings rapidly and flit around flowers, he patiently pays heed to the fascinating flutter. The 29-year-old civil service coaching faculty and aspiring civil servant might seem like an unlikely fly enthusiast. However, his dedication to civil service belies a deep-seated passion for these tiny creatures. What started as a childhood hobby has blossomed into a lifelong dedication to his research and preservation.
As the awareness about environmental responsibilities spreads around, many are willing to do their part to protect the planet. But this Madurai man has chosen a less-trodden path to conservation. "Butterflies and odonates are essential to a healthy ecosystem. They help control pests, pollinate plants, and even act as indicators of environmental health. But sadly, their numbers have been declining over the years," says Kumaresan. This decline sparked a mission within him: to understand and protect these vital creatures.
