I’ll be traveling to India, one of the most densely populated countries on earth, to find big cats in their native habitats and meet the people trying to keep them safe as the human population spreads out.
First, I’m going to a very remote place called Ladakh, high in the mountains of northern India. It’s one of the coldest, highest places where people live. Why am I going there? To look for the snow leopard, one of the rarest cats on the planet.
Snow leopards are incredibly hard to spot. They live in snowy mountains, blend perfectly into the rocks, and are sometimes called “ghosts of the mountains.” I’ll be working with local experts who help protect these animals and the land they live on.
After Ladakh, I’ll be heading down south to Panna and Kanha, two important tiger reserves that show how protecting nature really works. Panna is a conservation comeback story: after losing all its tigers years ago, people worked together to bring them back, and today the forests and rivers are once again full of wildlife. I hope that by sharing these kinds of stories, it’ll inspire people to see how we can apply these lessons all over the world, and hopefully make this a place where people and wildlife can live together in harmony.
Along the way, I’ll share stories, photos, and lessons about wildlife, culture, and why protecting nature matters. Think of it as a real-life expedition, no hiking boots required!
