In this empowering talk given by Dr. Latika Nath, she walks us through the landscape of her life and work. From her initial days as a conservationist trying to work in a male dominated field as a woman from a privileged background, to making a name for herself through her achievements and ability. She speaks about the atypical journey of becoming one of the pioneers of tiger conservation and female wildlife photography in India. She names the six major turning points in her life, where she walked through the 'Looking Glass’ and life as she knew it, changed forever. She speaks to us about her personal life candidly. Her vision, as she explains vividly, branched out into a variety of different fields. She speaks to every possible deterrent that can hinder one’s way and leads by example on how to be fearless in the face of setbacks. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

She is the first female wildlife biologist in India to work on tigers and entered the field of tiger conservation at a time when there was no holistic scientific work on the 'Big Cats' issue. Nath has spent over 25 years working at the grassroots level for tiger conservation. In 2018, she published the acclaimed coffee table book titled 'Hidden India' on the wilderness spaces of India. Recipient of multiple prestigious scholarships, Nath has also been awarded for her work in the field of Eco Tourism by the ATOI and the Karamveer Puruskar. She recently appeared alongside Shri Amitabh Bachchan detailing India's conservation journey to the world in a series 'The Journey of India' by Warner Bros on the Discovery Channel.
