40 conservation projects across 23 states
From the Pir Panjal mountains in Kashmir to the mangrove forests of Kannur, Kerala; from Himalayan black bear forests in Arunachal to whale shark pupping areas off the Gujarat coast.
As WTI’s Ambassador I have come to know its people; I have come to admire their scientific expertise, their empathy and the abiding passion that underpins their tireless striving to protect wildlife and wild habitats. I’m proud that their stories are now intertwined with mine. My life has been enriched and my purpose defined by the time shared with WTI.
