Saving one of India’s greatest treasures
India is making headlines for its rapid development and rising profile in world affairs. But conservationist and filmmaker Shekar Dattatri believes that even as his country’s economy and influence grow, India is losing one of its greatest treasures, its wildlife.
"Today, except in a handful of reserves, India’s protection system is in tatters.”
He has made the “national animal”, the Royal Bengal Tiger, the flagship of his inspiring campaign to prevent that loss.
