'''Balaram Hazarika''' (alias ''Nigona Shikari'') was a noted [[Assam]]ese animal tracker who showed [[Mary Victoria Leiter|Lady Curzon]] around [[History of Kaziranga National Park|Kaziranga]] and impressed upon her his urgency of [[wildlife conservation]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.goimonitor.com/story/uneasy-lies-head-horn |title=Uneasy lies the head with the horn |website=GoI Monitor |date=12 January 2012 |accessdate=4 May 2013}}</ref> Concerned about the dwindling numbers of [[rhinoceros]], she asked her husband, [[Lord Curzon]] the [[Viceroy of India]] to take necessary political action to save the rhinoceros.<br />
<br />
During the [[centenary]] celebrations of her visit, from 11 to 17 February 2005, Bapiram Hazarika, a [[mahout]], was honoured along with [[Nicholas Mosley, 3rd Baron Ravensdale]], Lord Curzon's grandson, for the contributions his grandfather made toward making Kaziranga a national park.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://assamforest.in/centenaryCelebration/greenWarriors.htm |title=Kaziranga National Park Centenary Celebration |publisher=Government of Assam Environment & Forest Department|date= |accessdate=4 May 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304081603/http://assamforest.in/centenaryCelebration/greenWarriors.htm |archive-date=4 March 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref> When Bapiram was honoured along with the Lord, it was a proud moment. He and his colleagues are not just [[Heritage interpretation|guides]], but protectors of animals as well.<ref>{{cite news | last=Rashid | first=Parbina | date=28 August 2005 | title=Here conservation is a way of life | newspaper=The Sunday Tribune – Spectrum | accessdate=19 July 2018 | url=https://www.tribuneindia.com/2005/20050828/spectrum/main2.htm}}</ref><br />
