Growing up in southern India I have always been fascinated by wildlife, and felids in particular. After completing my degrees in Biodiversity Conservation and Management at Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology (DICE) at the University of Kent, I was actively involved in conservation projects for Arabian leopards, Indian tigers and leopards, jaguars, pumas and ocelots in South America, the Persian leopard, as well as the recovery of wolf and lynx in the European Alps. For some years now I have focused on conservation photography and photojournalism. Through field guide training in southern Africa, and an advanced open water diving certification I further extended my range of activity in conservation journalism for print and online publications.
