Vindhyan Ecology and Natural History Foundation invites you to the 7th episode of the talk series- 'The Naturalist' by Mr. Tarun Nair on 'Understanding Gharials' on 7th November 2020 (Saturday) at 11 am.

Tarun Nair is a conservation biologist with an affinity for crocodiles and rivers. His work largely focuses on understanding the conservation needs of gharials in North-Central India, particularly along the Chambal, Son, and Gandak Rivers. He is also interested in human-wildlife interactions, conservation philosophy, policy, and human impacts on wildlife and ecosystems. He is currently associated with Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and Environment, Bangalore, and a member of the IUCN Crocodile Specialist Group.

The online talk series is specially designed to initiate conversation and understanding of vulnerable species, threatened landscapes, less-discussed conservation challenges, and innovative models of environmental consciousness in the Indian subcontinent. The talk follows a flexible format where the expert first talks about the issue followed by an interactive face to face discussion with participants. 

The medium of the talk will be in English followed by a discussion with participants. Participation is free. Please register at  https://vindhyabachao.org/live
