The lesson is systematically divided into two parts under two titles, ‘Lost in the Jungle’ and ‘Tracking the Panther of Nagarhole’, respectively.
First Part is an amazing experience of Kiran Purandare, the solitary traveller, completely lost in the jungles of ‘Umbarzara’. He narrates how he lost his way at the fall of the dusk and the terrifying turmoil he underwent thereafter. Shouting for help would literally mean ‘crying in the wilderness’. He also gives a detailed description of how he found his way towards the ‘Pitezari’.
Second Part has been extracted from 'CN Traveller Magazine'. It is about Shaaz Jung, known for his wildlife photography. It briefs us about his entry into this world of wildlife photography. It also reveals the insight that he received during this journey regarding the loss of the habitat of Jungle Heroes. The extract is the witness of his genuine efforts he took by establishing BCRTI. It is his honest effort for the conservation of forests by educating the rural folks as well as by providing them with a sound reliable source of income.

Narrate any of the incidents of your life when you were extremely terrified or awestruck.(Textbook Page No 55)
‘Trekking' is an experience which teaches you lot of lessons. How can I forget that memorable trekking with my friends? Last year we had arranged a trek to 'Kalasubai', the highest peak of Maharashtra. We started to climb early morning. We were about to reach at the middle of the mountain, the climate started to change. Within ten minutes the whole mountain covered with fog. We all were at distant places, could not see each other. I started to shout loudly in that invisibility, but in vain. I was very much terrified and started to pray for God. There was a deep valley at my left, so I decided not to move. After 4-5 hours, the fog started to disappear slowly. We all were scattered and I was alone. I started to descend the mountain and reached the base camp in a terrific situation. Thank God!
