We are happy to share with you, Chief Conservation Scientist – CWS, Dr. Krithi K. Karanth’s impassioned talk on “Rewilding India” at the 2018 Nature-in-Focus Festival held in Bangalore.

Dr. Karanth acknowledged that, “All the research, all the science, all the publications don’t make a difference if you are unable to change reality!”. Through vivid examples drawn from 20 years of conservation and current CWS programs, she insisted that despite the many challenges facing wildlife conservation in India today, there was more than enough reason for hope and optimism. 

When we can celebrate the cultural diversity of India with such gusto, she asked, why not celebrate the richness of our natural wealth as well?
