Introduction

Born at the foot of the mountain called 'Mardangad', which is rich in its flora and fauna, In village called Dhavli near Ponda (Goa), I am attracted towards the forest from my childhood.

The walks through the forest, which initially meant just as an adventure to me, started inculcating curiosity about the forest.

As I learnt the importance of the forests and the different life forms it nourished within it, The curiosity and affection towards nature grew.

But the actual step towards making an attempt to actually study those creatures was taken when I joined our college nature club.

It is then when I met Mr. Ajay Dongre,who is a teacher in the institute I learnt.

My mindset and the outlook towards the things like environment, wild life, conservation. changed when I met Ajay sir and my friend Saish Khandeparkar.

I started my journey with bird watching.

We started going for treks in groups.

This is just the start.

I intend to learn about the wild mammals, especially the big cats and work for their conservation.

I'll be writing the reports of treks which we carry out.

I will also try to bring to your notice some important things from this field.
