Valley of birds under threat

The movie Valley of Birds- Under Threat showcases the natural wealth of the region in the form of the diversity of rare birds. Some factors in the same region have been a threat to this rich habitat of not just birds but also various other lives in the wild. These are mostly due to the massive non-sustainable developments and improper management of garbage. The film has been documented based on my research and observations along with the views of experts in the field. Linking of the issues faced by this natural wealth with the practical solutions was the whole purpose of this movie. The film also intends to spread awareness and take necessary steps in the conservation of this biodiversity.

Director Statement

I'm primarily a conservationist who by profession is an enthusiastic photographer and a cinematographer. The main purpose of documenting them is for awareness and conservation. I capture the moments of nature which has got stories to tell, as photography for me is a form of communicating with nature.

Growing up amidst dense forests and wildlife I developed a passion for observing birds and animals from an early age. I enjoy spending time in nature admiring her colors and forms, to appreciate which I started capturing them into beautiful frames. Over time things changed, nature from flourishing and thriving changed to a form of surviving and in need of conserving. This called for my passion to take the form of conservation. Nature protects itself, I'm just a facilitator who wants to showcase the beauty of which that needs conservation.
