Photography Project

Post new topic

Hello everyone!  I am a photographer starting a documentary photography project about illegal animal trade and poaching in Asia.  India is my first stop and I am trying to get things lined up and coordinated. 
I have a few people from organizations willing to work with me, but I need some other help as well.  If any of you know anyone who is involved in poaching, either as a ranger or as a poacher, it would be very helpful to get with them.  I am also looking to find people who buy/sell animals and parts illegally, since I need to show all apects of the issue.  Of course, the people will remain anonymous unless they do not mind their faces shown or names mentioned.  I am simply documenting the issue.  Anyone who helps will also be paid. 
   So, if anyone would like to get involved, just message me and I will get back to you.  Sorry for the impolite message, but I need to be out in about 10 minutes!  If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask!  I hope to hear from some of you soon!!

Hi OneBag,
You are idea looks more like a Bollywood movie and sharing on social site is like that you are just coming here to enjoy it.
Killing animal and poaching trade is one of the deadliest trade all around the world and here in India its illegal as well as dangerous because here money is involved as well as life risk.
First of all I would suggest try to visit India because its not like African American Countries. Here life exist more like different you need to fist absorb in such scenery.
Lots of people are trying to stop and imagine if in three years from 21000 tiger to 1200 tiger left in India then you can imagine that how people are poaching where all this animals remains are going but problem is that in this trade petty people are poacher and main master mind live in another city or country. And these petty people dont believe in leaving tracks they love killing both animals as well as humans.
Have a great stay in India.
Greetings

I agree with Sachin and it won't be easy to find someone to guide you to meet those people.

Best of luck and be careful...

I am sorry if I have offended you sachingoel85, but I believe you are misunderstanding.  I do understand that this is a critical issue and I am doing the project because I feel strongly about it.  I already have weeks of research on the issue and I am working with multiple wildlife agencies within India and other parts of Asia, so I understand what the situation is.  The reason I am on a social site is to perhaps get in touch with those who really know about this as a part of life there so that I can present an accurate, in-depth story of what is happening.  Thank you for your reply.
