Finding Dr. Parag Deka for a conversation, on a busy Monday afternoon is quite a task, but we managed to catch him on the phone from his room near Assam’s Nameri National Park. Parag, a conservationist based in Guwahati, works with the NGO, Aaranyak on conserving the world’s smallest and rarest wild pig – the pygmy hog. The smallest member of the pig family, the pygmy hog is a critically endangered species.
