Sandesh Kadur promotes wildlife conservation through photography

Sandesh Kadur has spent 25 years revealing the secrets of wildlife through his photography and filmmaking. He uses his powerful images to promote conservation efforts. Kadur recalls a memorable moment when he saw a leopard under the moonlight. He describes how it approached a tree, scratched it, and then disappeared into the darkness. This experience, which he had as a 15-year-old in Bangalore, India, inspired his lifelong passion for wildlife. As a young boy, Kadur loved reading about big cats, especially the work of Jim Corbett, a hunter turned conservationist. One night, he and a friend cycled into the jungle, hoping to see the animals from Corbett's stories. That night in the moonlight, he knew this was the path he wanted to follow. Today, Kadur is a renowned National Geographic Explorer. He has dedicated his life to highlighting endangered species and their habitats. Through his storytelling, he gives audiences a glimpse into the beauty of nature and encourages them to protect its most vulnerable creatures.
