Save Aarey Community is organising an all India Leopard Photography Contest in association with Sanctuary Asia Magazine and Wildlife Conservation Society.

'Leopard and their behaviour', 'leopard alongside human' and 'best leopard picture' are the three themes of the contest. Participants can submit entries for each of these categories till 15th of June.

Speaking with iamin about the contest, Manish Gadia, Save Aarey Community said, "The main reason for organising this contest is that we want to spread awareness about these rare species. We will be sharing information about leopards and other rare species inside the Aarey Colony. This is important because in the last few years, 80% of leopard population has declined. Secondly, during the contest, a petition with suggestions for preservation of Aarey and the bio-diversity of Sanjay Gandhi National Park will also be signed. The petition will be then submitted to the authorities when the contest ends."

Bittu Sahgal, editor of Sanctuary Asia Magazine, Vidya Athreya, ecologist in Centre for Wildlife Studies and Manish Gadia, Save Aarey Community member and a wildlife photographer will be judging the contest.

The entry fee for the contest is Rs 700 and entries have to be sent via email. The contest will end on June 15 and the winning image will be published in Sanctuary Asia Magazine’s August issue.
"The amount collected through means of entries fees will be given to 'We Will Help Charitable Foundation' (WWH) to provide better educational facilities to the underprivileged children staying in Aarey Colony,” said Gadia.
