Hunter Hunted
Hunter Hunted::A carefully positioned ‘camera-trap’ vividly encapsulates the dilemma facing India… how can we reverse our onslaught on the natural world upon which we are totally dependent. The Indian leopard’s Panthera pardus fusca ability to adapt and tolerate humans is legend, but here in Mumbai we are pushing these cats to the brink by stealthily encroaching upon its wild domain in the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, a vital source of pure drinking water.
