Valmik Thappar has spent several decades serving the wild tigers of India. During this time, he has written more than twenty books and made or presented nearly a dozen films for the BBC and several other television networks on the tiger and Indian flora and fauna. He has also created a major non-governmental organization dedicated to conserving wildlife, the Ranthambhore Foundation. Although he has served on hundreds of government panels and committees relating to nature conservation, he is today a fierce critic of government policy. He continues to campaign and fight for new ways to save wild tigers and nature in India.
