R Prabhakar I have this passion for maps. I can keep staring at maps and can imagine virtually walking through the landscape. Google maps was thus a great time sink, until I decided I will do something more constructive with my passion. So here I am on this team. It has been a great 6 month working on the portal. Other things. I work at Strand Life Sciences who gave me an opportunity to work on this project. I love traveling. And I keep drifting!! |

I work at FES that is involved in working with local communities helping them sustain the environment. I travel a lot and I love keeping fit. |

| Ravi Chellam I have been attracted by the idea of having a public, participatory, biodiversity portal, considering the difficulty in getting any information on the biodiversity of the Indian subcontinent. These are just the beginnings, I think we have a long way to go. I sincerely request one and all to participate here and let us know the directions we need to evolve the portal. I am a wildlife biologist, and have worked on the lions of the Gir forest and believe that we need to translocate the Asiatic lions to another location for better ensuring the long term survival of the Asiatic lions |
