#059 - What if a 14-year-old boy could inspire you to see the world through a different lens? Meet Adarsh Nagda, a young wildlife enthusiast from Nairobi, Kenya, who is on a mission to invite us all to protect our wildlife. Join us as we journey through Adarsh's exciting wildlife encounters, from his first visit to Nairobi National Park to his daring escapades, including watching a cheetah on a hunt and getting stuck in the mud with a lioness nearby.

Adarsh's passion for wildlife is contagious. Every thrilling adventure and heartfelt experience he shares, whether it's observing the Big Five of Africa or capturing the unique wildlife species of Kenya through the lens of his camera, is a testament to his deep love for the animal kingdom. We also discuss the impact of tourism on wildlife and share some insights on how to engage responsibly with our natural environment.

However, our conversation is not just about adventures. We also delve into the pressing issues facing wildlife conservation. Adarsh shares his experiences visiting various conservation sites and his thoughts on the challenges of habitat destruction and the illegal wildlife trade. His plea for everyone to join in his mission to protect wildlife, starting with adopting an elephant, is not only inspiring but also a stark reminder of the vital role we all play in preserving our planet. So, listen in, get inspired, and perhaps, adopt an elephant!
