Looking into the eye of
the tiger
A conservation success story spanning 50 years; the tiger is here to stay – and we know where to spot its stripes...
Striking orange against jet black, the sight of a tiger is unmistakable – and a privilege once thought never to be seen again. Saved from a shrinking population in the foothills of the Himalayas, these endangered creatures continue to grow in number to this day. Weaving through close ties to their tumultuous history, find these sacred felines in their natural habitat and meet those protecting them along the way.
First on the agenda is Bandhavgarh National Park, home to the densest population of these striped predators in India. In a country boasting the largest number of wild cat species across forest landscapes, let your lens broaden here until the penultimate stop in Pench National Park. Hear camp owner Amit Sankhala share his family history of tiger conservation, recounting a story far from over
