Dr. Hrishita Negi and her Love of Tigers

Dr. Hrishita Negi grew up watching wild tigers. Her father, Himmat, worked in tiger conservation for decades, contributing to India’s success in doubling its tiger population over the past 50 years.

Today, Hrishita connects with local communities, listening to their concerns about wild tiger confrontations, and explains the benefits tigers bring to their forest. Together, she and her dad are helping people and tigers coexist.
