Daulat Singh Shaktawat - Will host a Special Presentation in Ranthambore National Park.

Mr. Singh was born in Deoli, Tonkm Rajasthan, and has been employed by the Wildlife Wing of the Forest Department, Government of Rajasthan for the last 33 years.  Daulat monitors and works on conserving the endangered species of wild life. The Royal Bengal Tigers and Leopards are two of his specialties.  He has been instrumental in saving the lives of these wild animals on numerous occasions when they have somehow escaped the sanctuaries and entered villages and human dwellings. When they get into these situations, the animals are in danger of being killed by humans. His job is to locate the animals, educate the locals and bring the animals back to a safe haven.

Daulat is the recipient of many Wildlife Awards from the sanctuaries in India and has been recognized on many occasions as being one of India’s leading experts on the tiger and tiger conservation projects. Dault has had many dangerous encounters with the tiger. Once such incident a few years ago resulted in severe injuries when attacked by the tiger. He will be sharing this and many more experiences with us during his presentation.
