Dear members, Dr. D S Rawat has been working in alpine zones of Uttarakhand since 1987 when he opted to explore “Alpine flora of Kuari Pass Dalisera Alpine zones in Chamoli district” for his M.Sc. dissertation. Since then trekking in alpine zones of Uttarakhand had been more an addiction of these enchanting landscapes of “Bugyals” than merely collecting plants/ ecological data. He have mainly interacted with plants of these areas, herdsmen (Bakarwals) roaming there but little with the experts, taxonomists or ecologists. Now since last few months, he is part of efloraofindia family.
We are all impressed by his postings, photographic as well as taxonomic skills & he has won everybody's heart in these past few months. So he truely deserves to be eFi man for the month of February, 2013 among members (excluding moderators). His posting details can be seen here<https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups#!profile/indiantreepix/APn2wQf19acRbzD66uFdSnuD6JnNKwTKdoTztTlBqrU2OaVYHAVAz3EwRIIq1uEiWH87-aIXzl8M> .
