In the Godavari river in the Eastern Ghats of India, fishermen and their families rely on the mangrove forest for their entire lives.
But it's not only fishermen that go fishing – these mangrove forests are also one of the key habitats for the Fishing Cat, who often snatch fish right out of fishermen's nets.
So how do you change an entire village's negative perception of the fishing cat? The answer – you start with the children.
