Varssa Ni Vaato 6

Conversations around Conservation

“Varsa ni Vaato” is an endeavour aimed at fostering closer connections with our members through a structured series of brief interactions with experts. These sessions offer invaluable insights and perspectives on a diverse array of topics.

Dr. Rahul Bhagwat, an accomplished tabla player and dedicated classical music scholar, is also an avid birder and wildlife photographer. With over 1000 rare bird species captured in his photography collection, Dr. Bhagwat’s passion for nature has led him to collaborate closely with the Gujarat Forest Department, where his photography and conservation work contribute to eco-tourism and educational displays across forest centers. He regularly conducts workshops on wildlife photography and conservation, showcasing the rich biodiversity of India through annual exhibitions, publications, and school programs. He also runs an NGO, ‘Wildlife Educare’, which aims to create wildlife awareness in tribal schools across India.

In this event, Dr. Bhagwat will share his journey as a birdwatcher, insights into wildlife photography, and his dedication to conserving India’s natural habitats. In his own words,

“Birding isn’t just a hobby; it’s a lifestyle, and conserving nature is an absolute necessity.”
