Jamuna Tudu: The real life 'Lady Tarzan'

In the early 2000s, a woman called Jamuna Tudu set out on a mission to protect her home state of Jharkhand's forests from India's so-called timber mafia.

She inspired thousands of people to care for their natural environment and established an army of women to fight back against the illegal cutting down of trees.

Her conservation efforts have led to the country's media dubbing her 'Lady Tarzan', and she is now known across India for her bravery.

She speaks to George Crafer about her run-ins with the mafia and her hero status.
