About Cane & Camera
I am Vinay Chittora, a Rajasthan-based naturalist, wildlife filmmaker, and field storyteller. My fieldwork is deeply connected to Mukundara Hills Tiger Reserve (MHTR), Rajasthan, and adjacent ecosystems.
Field orientation
The work is habitat-first: documenting ecological relationships, seasonality, and behavior with low disturbance and careful observation.
Conservation position
I advocate biodiversity-led conservation. Forests, wetlands, and grasslands function as networks; meaningful protection cannot focus on one species while neglecting native plants, algae, shrubs, insects, butterflies, reptiles, birds, and habitat processes.
Ethics in practice
- No baiting, call playback, handling, or forced proximity.
- Low-impact movement and strict respect for site protocols.
- Field outputs designed for awareness, accountability, and long-term documentation.
Mukundara context
My Mukundara landscape context includes habitat change, movement routes, seasonal patterns, and species interactions across wetlands, grasslands, and forest edges. Ongoing field notes are available at mhtr.in.
Where this can help
Useful for editorial teams, NGOs, educators, mission-led brands, and film crews that need grounded natural history storytelling, field scouting support, and conservation communication from Rajasthan and Mukundara landscapes.
