Lions and tigers around the world are easily recognizable and thoroughly documented, but filmmaker and National Geographic Explorer Sandesh Kadur is on a mission to highlight his home country’s lesser-known felines to help protect their future. An unmatched diversity of wild cats live in India, from the towering Himalaya mountains to arid plains to dense jungles. Discover the tiny, grumpy-faced Pallas’s cat, the fishing cat that jumps into water to catch its prey, and the elusive clouded leopard.
BAFTA Award-winning filmmaker Sandesh Kadur is a National Geographic Society Fellow. He creates documentaries that have aired worldwide on prominent networks such as National Geographic, the BBC, Netflix, Discovery Channel, and Animal Planet. He is a Fellow of the International League of Conservation Photographers, a member of the International Environmental Photographers Association (Japan), and a member on the board of the International Association of Wildlife Filmmakers. Kadur’s work spans cloud forests and endangered sea turtles in Mexico, rain forests and king cobras in India, and orphaned clouded leopards being rehabilitated back to the Himalayan jungle.
