K. Ullas Karanth, Ph.D., is a senior conservation scientist with the Wildlife Conservation Society and premier tiger expert. He energizes the new generation of India's conservationists and has championed the cause of tigers through his groundbreaking work in India, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. After two decades actively involved in tiger conservation, Karanth still finds room for optimism: "We have experienced successful tiger conservation actions in India, including a voluntary relocation of villages, the closure of a destructive mine, and a campaign that lead to the termination of a failed eco-development project in Nagarahole."
