From the Heart of Emerald Forest

PANNA TIGER RESERVE in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh – the Emerald Forest, the heart of one of the significant tiger populations of the nation. With the projection of BBC's refined documentary film like Tigers of the Emerald Forest, featuring Dr Raghu Chundawat as the pioneering researcher and the project head, the prevalence of Panna turned out to be more familiar and endearing to its appreciators. Nayanika Roy Chowdhury is an ardent wildlife enthusiast who has a tender passion for the vast Indian wilderness. She has completed her schooling at The Assembly of Gods Church School, Kolkata and now pursuing her Bachelor's degree in Sociology at Kamla Nehru College, Delhi, affiliated to Delhi University. Let us have a glance of the Emerald Forest through her lens.
