Story and Science Behind Black Tigers of Similipal, Odisha
Details:
You may have seen the recent National Geographic cover story on India’s wildlife -- the first time a story from the forests of India, written and photographed by an Indian, has been featured on the magazine’s cover!
Written and photographed by National Geographic Photographer, Prasenjeet Yadav, the story traces a remarkable journey: from uncovering the genetic basis of this rare mutation in black tigers, to understanding its prevalence in Similipal, and, finally, conservation strategies and their implementation in such small populations.
Together, we will explore the science of tiger genetics, what it takes to secure endangered populations, and how evidence-backed research and thoughtful communication can help safeguard India’s wildlife.
This conversation will explore how research can inform management to strengthen conservation strategies for many endangered species in a rapidly changing world.
