The jungle and the bush are nature's sanctuaries—a vibrant theatre of life where every creature, from the smallest insect to the mightiest predator, plays its role in a delicate yet powerful ecosystem. As a photographer, traveller, and conservation advocate, I am drawn to these untamed landscapes not just for their breathtaking beauty, but for the stories they tell about resilience, balance, and the urgent need for preservation. Through my lens, I aim to capture the spirit of these wild places and the creatures that inhabit them, inspiring others to cherish and protect the natural world for generations to come.

Fact: The world's forests absorb approximately 7.6 billion metric tonnes of CO₂ per year (Source: NASA & Global Carbon Budget) while Tropical rainforests, such as the Amazon, Congo, and Southeast Asian forests, are responsible for about 30% of global CO₂ absorption. However, due to deforestation and forest degradation, many forests now release more CO₂ than they absorb.

Fact: Globally, forests produce about 28% of the Earth's oxygen. The Amazon Rainforest alone generates about 20% of the world’s oxygen, earning it the nickname "The Lungs of the Earth." However, much of this oxygen is reabsorbed by the ecosystem (through respiration and decay), meaning forests contribute less to the net oxygen balance than phytoplankton in the oceans, which generate around 50-80% of global oxygen.
