About Me

My photo
My name is Amit Sayyed. Being a nature lover and interested towards wiIdlife i started my work long back in 2001. As a beginner i had a urge to do something which will help to improve my knowledge in the wildlife but in the course of time i realised that this is a vast field and requires collective efforts to conserve our Mother Nature.So the first step towards this direction was establishment of our Org Wildlife Protection and Research Society. which works for conservation of forests and wildlife and operates across Maharashtra. Further i wrote 3 informative books. Now i am working as a Researcher in WLPRS and ANIMAL WELFARE OFFICER. I have been doing research in wildlife since 15 years, as a part of research subject i have chosen geckos (Cnemaspis) and frogs (Rhacophoridae) Wildlife photography is my passion and I have extensive collection of wildlife photographs. I would like to share few of them with you. For more information i can be reached at 9922277772.or mail me at :amitsayyedsatara@gmail.com
