Practitioners from across India are already part of the network

01

Connect

Bridging the gaps between India's wildlife guardians — from Kaziranga's rhino protectors to Ranthambore's tiger researchers

02

Collaborate

Cross-pollinating wisdom across disciplines — when a filmmaker meets a field biologist, stories that save species are born

03

Strengthen

Building India's conservation backbone — responsible engagement with wild spaces, wild lives, and the communities that protect them

The Problem We Solve

Remarkable work is happening in India's forests. But too much of it happens in silence.

Deep in the heart of Pench, a biologist tracks a tigress raising her cubs alone. In the Nilgiris, a filmmaker documents the last great elephant corridors. Along the Brahmaputra, a journalist writes about communities living alongside rhinos. In Goa, an ecotourism leader pioneers sustainable safaris that fund local schools.

They've never met. The Indian Wildlife Network exists to change that — to be the connective tissue India's wildlife community has always needed. A trusted canopy where every voice finds its echo.

Network Membership Includes

More than a membership.

A movement.

Expert-Led Nature Walks

Trek through Corbett's sal forests at dawn. Wade through Keoladeo's wetlands. Walk the paths where leopards tread — guided by field practitioners who know every birdsong.

Conservation Film Screenings

Watch India's most powerful wildlife documentaries — from the last tigers of Sariska to the hornbills of Arunachal — then speak with the filmmakers who risked everything to tell their stories.

Talks by Leading Voices

Sit across from researchers who've spent decades in Indian forests. Hear from the scientists tracking gharials in the Chambal, the journalists exposing poaching networks, the leaders shaping policy.

Knowledge Newsletters

Curated dispatches from the wild — field reports, new research, policy shifts, and conservation breakthroughs from across India's protected areas and wildlife corridors.

Regional & National Gatherings

From intimate city meetups in Bengaluru and Delhi to IWN's national summits — spaces where India's wildlife community gathers, debates, and charts the path forward.

Collaborative Working Groups

Founding Voices

Built by people who've spent their lives in the field.

IWN wasn't dreamed up in a boardroom. It was born around campfires in Kanha, on boat rides through the Sundarbans, in editing suites where footage of India's last great wilderness areas was being pieced together. The founding group brings together decades of lived experience — people who've counted pugmarks, documented species, built responsible tourism models, and told the stories that shaped India's relationship with its wild.
