And the Act also regulates the trade of wildlife parts and products. Since the Act was passed 50 years ago, it has had a remarkable impact on Indian wildlife and conservation. It has also been heavily criticised, with the laws having undergone several amendments over time.

In this video, Dr. Ullas Karanth states that its foundational science makes the book deep and meaningful.
Please watch the video
“Good science and entertaining writing seldom come from the same person, but author Ullas Karanth is an exception…,” says James D. Nichols (Emeritus Scientist), about Dr. Ullas Karanth’s latest book, ‘Among Tigers’.
Although ‘Among Tigers’ is an adventure-tale of a man fascinated by tigers for over half a century, it is also a product of solid research he has done as one of the world’s leading tiger biologists and conservationists.

We are delighted to welcome Ms. Abhilasha Hegde to #TeamCWS! She joins our Media and Outreach team as Media Fellow.

In her words, "I wish to tell stories which educate various audiences and address urgent concerns about nature and wildlife through my lens and creativity." Image
"I grew up in an idyllic village tucked deep into the dense forests of the Western Ghats of Karnataka. Since childhood, I've been curious and fascinated about nature and wildlife. I slowly started expressing my nature tales through photography, paintings and other forms of art."
"Even though I graduated as an information science engineer and started my career as a software developer, the curious and creative bug inside me finally dragged me towards finding an opportunity to do something for nature and wildlife in a professional capacity."

"I saw Rishab Shetty’s (@shetty_rishab) stunning movie, Kantara, last night! It was a deeply moving experience, which held me in a trance-like state from beginning to end."
