40 years ago, the first issue of Sanctuary Asia rolled out; the result of a promise made by their Founder-Editor Bittu Sahgal to his mentor Fateh Singh Rathore one night under the Jogi Mahal Banyan Tree in Ranthambhore.
Today, as many as 450 issues later, Sanctuary has become a binding force and springboard for countless conservationists who are now leading impactful campaigns and initiatives across the world.
I feel truly honoured for my work to have graced this landmark issue - Sanctuary has been a refuge for my learnings into the world of nature and conservation - all the way from the time I was a young boy who wanted to grow up to be an environmentalist.

A flourishing world graces their 40th-anniversary Cover reflecting Sanctuary’s decades of work, weaving the threads of community, biodiversity, and wilderness. In this self-sustained ecosystem, diverse habitats, species, and beings are nurtured and revered by communities that thrive in her fecund blessings.
This work, is also a way for me to pay tribute to all the incredible women who have brought me closer to the natural world - Terrarium is my ode to all the women working for science and nature in India, for I could have never witnessed or learnt about the magic of the forests and oceans without their sharings.
