    जंगल से जन तक | Dr. Krithi K. Karanth | Rolex National Geographic Explorer | Tiger Day Special

    Every International Tiger Day, we celebrate the tiger. But perhaps the bigger question is this: Can humans and wildlife truly coexist? In this special episode of One Purpos Voices, we sit down with Dr. Krithi K. Karanth - Rolex National Geographic Explorer of the Year, scientist, conservationist, and CEO of the Centre for Wildlife Studies for a conversation that goes beyond wildlife conservation. Together, we explore what coexistence really means, why conservation is as much about people as it is about forests, the delicate balance between development and ecology, and the role each of us plays in protecting the natural world. In this episode, we explore: Growing up with legendary conservationist Dr. Ullas Karanth Why conservation begins with people, not just wildlife Living alongside tigers, elephants, leopards and other wildlife The realities of human-wildlife conflict in India Conservation science versus popular perception Development, forests and the communities that call them home The Forest Conservation Amendment Act and what it means Why thousands of small conservation wins matter more than one big success Building the Centre for Wildlife Studies and leading a team of conservationists What gives hope for the future of India's wildlife Timestamps 00:00 Introduction 01:12 Growing up in the wild with Dr. Ullas Karanth 03:45 Falling in love with wildlife and conservation 06:20 Human-wildlife coexistence in India 09:40 Science, conservation and changing public perception 13:15 Living with conflict instead of eliminating it 16:35 Why conservation is really about people 19:06 Rethinking what we call "development" 20:22 The Forest Conservation Amendment Act explained 22:10 The most rewarding moments in conservation 24:13 Why urgency matters more than patience 25:25 What success means after 28 years in conservation Some conversations change how you see the world.
