BBC Earth Explorer : Lion-tailed macaques

You remember the Chasing the Monsoon expedition? Paul has been very efficient and has been both writing and putting together video snippets from the trip.

BBC has finally put up one of the stories from the expedition which I presented on the Lion-tailed macaques (Filmed by David, Paul and Mandanna). Lion-tailed macaques are the most fascinating primates from the Western Ghats and are also one of the most endangered in the world. I have been following this group for a while now when I did the photo essays, and it was a pleasure to see them again and thankfully doing well for the moment. Unfortunately currently this video can be accessed only from UK. I’ll try to put it up elsewhere once I get the permission. Till then, the best way to see it would be via a UK based open proxy.

Earth Explorer is the coolest title I’ve ever had in my life. The coming year will be the year of exploration and travel for me.
