Dr Ullas K. Karanth: India's Premier Tiger Conservationist

Ullas was born in 1948 in the wilderness landscape of Malenadu, Karnataka. He is the son of acclaimed Kannada writer Kota Shivarama Karanth who instilled in him a love for nature. Ullas studied in a Kannada-medium school. From his childhood days, he absolutely loved wildlife and read widely about animals. Though he originally trained to be an engineer at the National Institute of Technology, Surathkal (1971), because of his deep passion for wildlife biology, he obtained a Master’s degree in Wildlife Ecology from the University of Florida (1988) and a Doctorate in Applied Zoology from Mangalore University (1993).
