Director Biography - AMIT GOSWAMY

Amit Goswamy, the Director of “Chronicles of a Wildlifer” has always been passionate about the wildlife and environment matters. In order to gain higher education in the field he did his Masters degree in Wildlife Science from Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun (2009-11).
His idea of conservation was to involve various stake holders and enforcement agencies together. After doing the MSc (Wildlife Science) he decided to join the elite Border Security Force as Assistant Commandant and is working to increase awareness among the forces. It was always a real gap between wildlife conservation and real enforcement, and the answer lies in raising awareness.
He decided to work on this documentary project to bridge that gap and increase awareness among the security forces. The result of this humble effort was "The Last Tribe” which is a unique story from the Naxalite area of India. A film shot in real time operations and reflects the beauty of untouched landscapes.

Director Statement


India being a country of immense wildlife value is a vital region for wildlife conservation and awareness. Being a democratic country, the mandate of the people is vital when it comes to policy decisions. The wildlife conservationist and environmentalist work tirelessly for the cause, but the fact of the matter is that the efforts would be futile at best if we do not popularize the cause between the masses, especially the people working in enforcement and military.
