About the Speaker:
Ghulam Rasool's first encounter with wildlife came on a bird-hunting trip and his fascination with nature's creatures soon turned into a passion. He has had the chance to travel to familiar and remote wetlands all over the country and has worked as a nature photographer for WWF Pakistan. Over the years his work has been featured in prestigious publications such as Birding ASIA, the bi-annual magazine of the Oriental Bird Club, as well as in Russell Slack's acclaimed Rare Birds book.


About the Talk:
Someone once told Ghulam Rasool that Pakistan had no wildlife. In this talk, he narrates how he went on about, not just finding wildlife, but photographing it too.


About TEDx:
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
