Shaaz Jung, a talented young Indian wildlife photographer, is a pioneer in this field, and he uses his wildlife photographs, enhanced by digital imagery, to augment their impact.

Also on these pages, we introduce you to a couple of amazing global environmental activists; remind you to demand that your government learn the difference between ‘destruction’ and ‘development’; present to you the green (and pink!) treasure smack bang in the middle of Mumbai city; bolster your knowledge of ‘pinnipeds’; uplift you with a story of a farmer who saved a leopard; thrill you with the joyous dancing of the Lesser Florican; wow you with some amazing images from young wildlife photographers and so much more.

The Sanctuary Wildlife Awards 2018: Each year, in the process of unearthing inspiring people who have been contributing to protecting our home - Planet Earth, we come across an incredibly diverse set of brave men and women – who do not let fear or uncertainty deter them. The Sanctuary Nature Foundation is honoured to recognise these Earth Heroes, not only to shine a light on their work but also as a token of gratefulness for their selfless work.

In this issue we bring you: an Asian elephant calf, a bunch of hungry crematogaster ants, a dazzling Red Avadavat, a gorgeous grizzled giant squirrel, a brave one-and-a-half legged dog, a couple of Asiatic lions, a few mysterious creatures that are neither plant nor animal (you heard right) and much more!

The Joy of Nature:  Underscoring the truth that nature will only be nurtured if ordinary people love, understand and respect it, Bittu Sahgal drums up a smattering of memories of days spent in kinship with wild nature. It is such experiences he believes that we need to expose young India to if we wish them to grow up with a sense of appreciation for the exquisite natural heritage with which the Indian subcontinent is blessed. This vital national objective can be achieved by tourism, provided policymakers enable young Indians to experience nature as they deserve to… the way he did when he fell in love and dedicated his life to nature decades ago.

In this issue, we introduce you to two amazing women whose life work with chimpanzees, orangutans and gorillas has totally changed the way humans think about their place in the animal kingdom.

India’s food, water and climate security are at an all time risk given the systematic dilution of existing laws and policies on wetlands and waterways. Neha Sinha wonders at the schizophrenia of a government that talks of river protection, while dredging and ecologically damaging the very same waterways. Where our government is failing us, ordinary people are rising to fill the breach. Expressing dismay, anger and frustration, they demand accountability from policy makers, and economists who cannot see that damaging our natural capital is not just a crime against future generations, but is destroying any hope of economic and social stability for India.

In this issue: the world’s longest insect migration, a new bird species, olive Ridley turtles, crabs the colour of candyfloss, oxygen-spewing trees, the lions of Africa, and YOU, to love it all. 

Daft National Forest Policy 2018? 
On June 5, 2018, World Environment Day, Lakshmy Raman and Bittu Sahgal ask that politicians, planners, activists and scientists join hands with long-suffering citizens to tackle the conjoined problems of biodiversity loss, climate change and the falling quality of human life on the subcontinent. Over 90 per cent of the water accessible to over a billion humans is sourced from, filtered through, or fed by sources originating from natural ecosystems including wetlands and forests. The authors have therefore chosen to focus on the most immediate threat to natural India at the hands of the poorly drafted, irresponsibly posited Draft National Forest Policy 2018 for India.

In this issue, learn all about the massive – and reversible – plastic problem: how it negatively affects all life on Earth, including us, and most importantly what you and your friends can do about it, starting NOW. By acting together, it’s pretty incredible what can be achieved. Just look to the ants. Or to the bees! Also in this issue, meet a bunch of crazy cute wild cat kittens, witness the magic of butterfly metamorphosis, say hello to India’s only parrot species, feast your eyes on images of ‘beach life’
and much more.

Earth Day – The Quiet Changemakers: Ordinary people can and will make a difference. In our cover story, we acknowledge the power of people’s movements across the globe... and we bring to you in their own words, the initiatives taken by ordinary citizens to make this planet a better place to live. As a great soul once rightly said, “Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” 

In this issue, meet two of the many incredible ‘game changers’ who are helping light our path, take action to protect the gorgeous Olive Ridley turtle and see how your everyday choices can reduce your carbon footprint. Listen, learn, love and protect our planet.

Bear Necessities: Aniruddha Dhamorikar writes of the changing landscape for sloth bears in their Central Indian strongholds and offers glimpses of solutions to human-bear conflicts that could determine the future of the species.

In this issue, be treated to the life story of T11, aka Kamli, tigress extraordinaire; hear an ode to the unsung heroes of wildlife conservation; get some tips on ‘greening up’ your school; learn the ugly truth about shahtoosh shawls; catch a glimpse of the beautiful, iridescent stream glory; meet a few amazing young naturalists and so much more.

The Good Fight - The Sanctuary Wildlife Awards 2017:  When Nature’s narrative turns despairing, these individuals bring us stories of hope, inspire us to be resilient and remind us that it is a planet worth fighting for. Sanctuary is committed to honouring these trailblazers, year after year, for we believe they drive the change we need.
