About the Book

‘The memoirs of a self-confessed maverick wildlife biologist, full of fascinating information and stories told with Rauf’s inimitable caustic humour. A must for wildlife lovers and all who enjoy a unique read. ’ Mark TullyBeginning with his interactions with Dr. Salim Ali, the legendary ornithologist who was also his grand-uncle wildlife biologist Rauf Ali takes the reader on a journey through India’s natural history and the beginning of ecological studies in India. Rauf was one of the first Indians to complete a PhD in wildlife biology he researched the social behaviour of bonnet macaques in the forests of Mundanthurai region in Tamil Nadu. In the late 1980s, he was instrumental in setting up one of India’s first Masters programmes in ecology and later, as an ecologist, Rauf undertook the task of delineating Protected Areas in the Palani Hills of the Western Ghats. He was also among the first to conduct environmental research in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and in this book, he provides eye-opening information on the environmental damage caused by the introduction of chital and other species alien to the region. Enlivening the narrative are anecdotes drawn from a career spanning over three decades, of encountering wild elephants, dealing with red tape, and whiskey-laced brainstorming sessions with students and Nobel laureates alike.
