In this Feb. 6, 2017, photo, a teacher of Sankardev Sishu Niketan school draws a Greater Adjutant Stork, an endangered bird with a total population of 1,200 in the world, on a blackboard at Dadara village, west of Gauhati, India. With about 800 birds Assam has the largest number of the Greater Adjutant Stork, concentrated largely in three villages just northwest of state capital Gauhati. Conservationists say they have launched a pride campaign among the children and youth so they can proudly say their village is home to the hargilas, the name of the bird in local Assamese language.
