From the time he became a student-volunteer at the Madras Snake Park at age 13, through the years spent as a filmmaker with television networks including Discovery Channel, National Geographic and the BBC National History Unit, as one of the top wildlife cinematographers in the world, he is most at home in the wild.

It&#;s unsurprising &#; those that devote their lives to documenting the wild often have a fiercely protective instinct towards it &#; but Shekar has gone beyond passive support to active advocacy. His work is hard-hitting, making no bones about its intent – per
