Reptiles of Phansad

“DCP explorers” is a venture to popularize conservation photography and also an attempt to support the scientific community by helping in building up a rich database of various life forms on earth. This project is now live and our team of explorers are on field !!! Team DCP will be exploring the lesser known remote forests of India not only to carry home some breath catching images of natural history moments but also to document the biodiversity of the geography to build up a rich resource of data and images, which can be extremely helpful for the scientific community.

Life happened on earth 3.5 billion years back and human life came in much later. In spite of scientific progress, about 70% of species still remain undiscovered and nameless. We have discovered about 1.7 million species on land and in water. So what remains undiscovered is a huge portion of our biodiversity. Against the background of still unknown richness of biodiversity, this century has witnessed rapid extinctions of species. Millions of species are disappearing directly as a result of human destruction of natural habitats.

Conservation photography is a blend of art of wildlife photography and the science of natural history documentation. Conservation photography can work as a very strong tool for the non scientist and non biologist community to contribute enormously for building up a rich database.

We are just facilitators for a worldwide movement, doing our little bit. less ↑
