Pakistan's Wild Heart

Leading Wildlife Research & Conservation Storytelling in Pakistan’s Toughest Terrains

From the freezing northern peaks to the scorched southern plains, I bring Pakistan’s remarkable wildlife to light through a unique blend of conservation science and professional photography. What began as a childhood refuge from the challenges of dyslexia has evolved into a life’s mission. Today, my work goes beyond the lens—I bridge the gap between academic research and field-hardened execution. Whether I am tracking leopards in the Margalla Hills with WWF-Pakistan or documenting the illegal trade of the Indian Pangolin, I provide the visual evidence and technical data required to protect our natural heritage."
