About US
I am Siddhaarth C M, from Bangalore, the silicon valley of India. Ever since my childhood, I have been fascinated by animals, birds, and plants. In 16 years of my life on earth, I understand that we humans are snuffing out the lives of animals and plants from this planet. This self-destructing behaviour of our species needs to be reversed and it needs to be done now! The more diverse the organisms on earth, the more secure the lives on earth which includes humans.
This is my first endeavour on this scale. I hope to make a difference by joining the army of conservationists who have been relentlessly working to restore the planet's Biodiversity.

Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus)
Conservation Status: Vulnerable
Cheetah is the oldest and the fastest cat in the world.
It can reach 112km/h in just three seconds.
The ones with larger black spots are known as “King Cheetas.”
This animal does not roar instead they purr, growl or chur
They hunt in the dawn and dusk as they hunt by sight and not by smell

Improving their protection by trained game guards increased its population by 17% in the year 2013-2014

Sharks, also known as “elasmobranchs”. They are found in oceans.
About 19 million years ago, around 90% of ocean sharks became extinct due to some mysterious extinction event.
Sharks body does not have bones but is rather made up of cartilaginous skeletons.
Their eyes are located at the sides of their heads, so they can see nearly everything around them.
Though in deep water the light is minimal shark can still spot their prey due to their 360-degree vision and super-smart smell detection.
Overfishing and illegal fishing are the causes of the decline in the shark population.
Avoiding single use plastics can save sharks and marine wildlife

These goats is the only caprine species found in tropical mountains (Western Ghats)of Sothern Indian states – Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
They are the largest of the Tahrs.
Their horns reveal their age as they annual develop growth rings
According to 2015 World Wildlife Fund for Nature there are only 3,122 Nilgiri Tahr.
They are restricted to only few areas due to habitat loss, biotic pressure, invasive species and climate change.
Indian Government has come up with a new project called “The Project Nilgiri Tahr” to conserve this endangered species
This project costs $3.03 million to the government over the period of five years (2022-2027)

Conservation Status: Endangered species
B1 Orcas or Killer Whales are the ultimate predators found in a special area of Antarctica called "Gullet." They have an amazing complex social structure where they live in groups. Matriarchs have a life span of 90 years and they pass on their knowledge to the young ones. The family spy hops around the icebergs, looking out for Weddell seals. They adopt a technique called “wave-washing” while hunting seals, where whales fan out and head towards the ice berg with speed and precision. They use their tails as weapons to break the flat sea ice and wash the seal into water. B1 swims with perfect coordination while performing wave-washing as they communicate through sounds and are able to assess their environment through the process of echolocation. They are the most intelligent predators who use different strategies while hunting. They have a 90% success rate while hunting weddell seals. Unfortunately, B1 killer whales are a part of a shrinking population, with only 100 of them left currently. The reason being that they survive only where there is flat sea ice. As this type of ice is rapidly disappearing, their prey too is disappearing.
