emerging explorer award
25/05/2010

Aparajita Datta has spent the last 13 years working to study and conserve the tropical rainforests of Arunachal Pradesh in northeastern India, arguably the country’s richest biodiversity region. She explores the conservation challenges facing one of the world’s last vast tracts of wilderness and the complex issues confronting tribal Lisu people who call this region home. She initiated a community-based conservation program with the Lisu to reduce hunting and save wildlife by first improving the quality of life for local families.

National Geographic’s Emerging Explorers Program recognizes and supports uniquely gifted and inspiring adventurers, scientists, photographers and storytellers making a significant contribution to world knowledge through exploration while still early in their careers. The Emerging Explorers each receive a $10,000 award to assist with research and to aid further exploration.
