Director Statement

Through the film of Biodiversity of Uttarakhand we are trying to show various birds, butterflies and mammals of the state. Along with this we tried to show many species with their habitat starting from high Himalaya to wetlands of plains, because we believe before conserving any species, it is important to focus on the conservation or revival of its habitat.
