Through years of dedicated research, ARRS has led groundbreaking work—tracking King Cobras using radio telemetry, studying their breeding and nesting behaviors, and even exploring how climate change affects reptilian activity. These aren't just academic pursuits; they are lifelines for future conservation strategies.

It was the first time in my life I truly learned about their intricate life cycles, their nuanced behaviors, their astonishing adaptations. I sat there, completely absorbed, realizing how little we know about these remarkable creatures—creatures that predate humans by hundreds of millions of years, yet are often dismissed, ignored, or even ridiculed.

What started as a hobby—capturing birds through my camera—soon turned into a profound journey of observation, patience, and learning. My recent visit to Vedanthangal Bird Sanctuary was not just about photography; it was about immersing myself in nature’s rhythm.

Birdwatching isn’t just a pastime—it’s a way of reconnecting with the world beyond screens and schedules. It teaches us stillness, curiosity, and appreciation for the intricate balance of life. More importantly, it is something we must pass on to the next generation—to observe, to learn, and to cherish the wonders that exist all around us.
