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."
"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."
