A 3-week trip to India took me to the east and west coasts. Along the way, I had the good fortune to meet some of the most hard-working, passionate conservationists - both scientists and non-scientists, who taught me so much about India, its people, and about conservation in India - especially sea turtle conservation.
This journal is about my experiences and the individuals and groups who are bringing about change and making a difference to wildlife conservation in India.
