Nature is a complex web of interconnected relationships that often goes unnoticed by us. Yet, these intricate connections are vital for maintaining the delicate balance of the natural world. Drawing from decades of experience first as a wildlife conservationist and later as a wildlife scientist, Sanjay Gubbi shares his journey of managing his private land in a wildlife-friendly manner.
From the conservation of large mammals like elephants to tiny creatures such as fireflies, he documents fascinating observations, little-known relationships between species, and the unique yet remarkable role each living being plays in nature. Through his Kannada book ‘Kaadinolagondu maneya maadi’, he brings these insights and experiences to readers.
 
At once engaging and thought-provoking, this work is a personal narrative based on Sanjay Gubbi’s own lived experiences, expanding curiosity and deepening our understanding of the natural world.
