Kolappa Venkatesh

Venkat is a Zoology graduate with a Masters Degree in Sociology. Venkat's passion for Wildlife & nature was ignited during the first two decades of his childhood years in his native village. After his college education, he worked for 11 years in Sales & Marketing and 3 years in the BPO industry. His years in the city only increased his passion for wildlife, ultimately resulting in him giving up his career and getting involved in Wildlife tourism & Conservation. He has wide experience in the field of wildlife having worked in Kanha and Pench National Parks before coming to Kabini. He has also visited most of the National Parks in India. Venkat believes that the urban man has lost touch with wilderness and nature. He strongly feels that helping them reconnect with nature will go a long way in invoking the spirit of wildlife conservation. Conservation of wildlife according to Venkat is essential for the long time survival of the human race.
