for an Extinct Mythical Animal called Patti
Kaduva
2.
Dijo Discovered Neelagiri Kaduva in
Neyyar Dam on 25 Sep 2014

Another Important Contribution
that Dijo gave to Science
is the Invention of a New method called F3B-NSPM
to Prove a new Species without Photos or DNA
Test
4.
Dijo Scientifically
Poved Neelagiri Kaduva using F3B-NSPM
5.
Unremitting work among
People to Educate them on the Importance
of Conservation of Neelagiri Kaduva
6.
Research in Thiruvananthapuram, Thrissur,
Wayanad, Idukki, Paravoor, Kunnamkulam, Engandiyoor,
Ponnani, Palakkad, Attappadi, Kasarkode, Pathanamthitta
etc. in Kerala to find whether it still exists
7.
Presented Scientific
Paper in 103rd Indian Science Congress 2016 in University
of Mysore
8.
Dijo has Prepared
Hundreds of Pages of Documentation on Neelagiri
Kaduva alone, that too all alone.
9.
Educating the
Local People in Thiruvananthapuram,

10.
Dijo Tried Hard to get the Kerala Forest Department
involved in the Conservation of Neelagiri
Kaduva.
CWWs till date, especially G Harikumar, have
not supported Dijo Thomas, as their priority
is in “Conserving Themselves” with Government
Projects & Funds, and not an endangered
rare wild animal.
11.
Taking classes in Clubs, Meetings, Schools
etc. to create awareness among people about
Neelagiri Kaduva & Environment
12.
Second Discovery of Neelagiri Kaduva in Kanjani, Thrissur
on 08 March 2016

As Neelagiri Kaduva lives in a Populated area, Dijo
has been Staying in Engandiyoor Region for
the past 1 ½ Years to involve the local
people in Conservation of it.
14.
As Neelagiri Kaduva may attack domestic animals,
Dijo is trying hard to make People understand its
Importance & Prevent them from killing
it or its Cub
15.
Dijo had been Monitoring the movement of Neelagiri
Kaduva Secretly in an area from Kunnamkulam
to Aluva.

He is also Studying Neelagiri Kaduva &
Raktha Athika in that region & updating
his knowledge
18.
Dijo has Scientifically
Poved Raktha Athika using
F3B-NSPM
19.
He is
Documenting his findings about
Raktha
Athika since its Discovery.
20.
He is also educating people from Ponnani to Kodungallor,
the only place in the world where it exists,

café.
23.
The Documentation on Neelagiri
Kaduva & RA has been made available in his Website,
so that Future generations & Scientists will be able to get information on it.
24.
In addition to all these, he gives Information
& Awareness about these Two New Species
to the People through Media also, which,
to say the least, is a Tedious & a Herculean
process
25.
You have to Understand

Neelagiri Kaduvas before
it is killed by Local people or before it
becomes totally extinct. Raktha
Athika is also equally critical. |
