INTO THE WOODS

From having a wild hyaena on her back to sitting at the foot of Darwin’s arch in the Galapagos and watching hundreds of sharks swim past her, T+L India’s A-List member Latika Nath has had many life-changing experiences. She shares a few with SIMRRAN GILL

Latika Nath CONSERVATION ECOLOGIST & WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHER

From a degree in Environmental Science to your career trajectory now, can you take us through your journey?

It has been a long and interesting journey. I have consulted for the United Nations and international NGOs like IUCN, WWF International, and ICIMOD. I was a hotelier for 10 years and then for the next 10 years I travelled the world and photographed the great cats and wrote to raise awareness about their fragile status. I have recently established Hidden India, with my partner, Vikram Aditya Singh where we will be focusing on conservation of wildlife and wilderness, cultures, and heritage through tourism.

What have been some surprising experiences from your journeys?
