Kenneth Anderson Nature Society is organising a 2 day workshop for the Protection staff of the Hosur Forest Division wherein approx. 60 staff will be trained in field craft, anti-poaching tactics, proper use of firearms and guidelines on legal issues. The objective of the workshop is to enhance the skills of the staff and also highlight the importance of their role and improve their morale and self-esteem.

The workshop will be conducted by Wildlife First, represented by Mr. Praveen Bhargav (a former member of NBWL) (http://www.theearthheroes.com/the-awards/2006-awards/29-praveen-bhargav-) and Mr. KM Chinnappa (http://www.maheshbhat.com/heroes/chinnappa/index1.html), a former Range Officer of Nagarhole National Park
