Passage: "A forest guard named Ramesh walked the same forest path every day. He knew where elephants drank, where they rested, and which route they took when the seasons changed.

But when elephants began entering villages and damaging crops, people remembered his words. Ramesh then helped draw a map of the corridor and suggested an underpass for the animals. The plan was accepted, and elephant visits to villages fell sharply. Ramesh never claimed to be an expert. He said that walking a forest daily teaches what books alone cannot."
