What We're Up To

The three of us -- Karan Chhabra, Katie Swails, and Sandeep Prasanna -- are Duke students spending eight weeks in the south Indian rainforest working on a series of short documentary films about environmental issues in order to aid the outreach programs of SAI Sanctuary, a wildlife sanctuary in the Western Ghats region. In the process, we'll also be organically farming, aiding in the construction of biogas plants, and chasing rare plants and animals.

Follow us as we navigate through the jungle and much more!

You can learn more about the DukeEngage program at dukeengage.duke.edu. You can also find out what the SAI Sanctuary, our hosts, are working on at saisanctuary.com.

We're live!

Welcome to the Jungle Blog-- we're online and live!

The three of us Duke students-- Sandeep, Karan, and Katie-- are going to be spending the next two months in the rainforests of southern India working on a series of environmental projects, including but not limited to:

- filming a documentary
- constructing biogas plants
- identifying and photographing rare animals and plants
- fighting leopards
- wrestling elephants

This is where we're headed. Isn't it beautiful?















We depart on May 12, so wait for the adventure to begin.

    FYI -- if you have not seen this video, it is really excellent example of promoting a particular environmental perspective (in this case, Native American). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCnWZncHH2Y
