She stormed into the world of wildlife conservation at a time when women in the field were few and far between. The challenges were many, but she persevered. Meet Dr Latika Nath, the first Indian and a woman to do a doctorate on tigers.

Even as Dr Latika Nath worked for tiger conservation, her love for the wild led her to go beyond tigers. She has worked with several international organizations on many species including the Asian elephant, snow leopards, the gangetic dolphin, wild buffalos and other high-altitude mammals.

Focusing on her love for writing and photography, Dr Latika Nath uses these tools to spread awareness about wildlife conservation.

Presently, Dr Latika Nath is working on a new conservation tourism project called ‘Hidden India’, connecting wilderness with cultures and communities.

From being awarded the title of ‘Tiger Princess of India’ by National Geographic to being a Nikon influencer, Dr Latika Nath’s journey has been an inspiration to many.

But there’s more to this ‘Tiger Princess’ than just tigers. Watch this video to know more about this incredible ecologist who dons many hats as a scientist, researcher, conservationist, author, wildlife photographer and now an underwater photographer.
