Mohan Alembath,wildlifer - Uthaman
I am a retired wildlife warden who has put in 30 years service in the wildlife reserves of Kerala,India. I was trained at Forest College Coimbatore and Wildlife Institute of India,Dehra Dun.
My first passion in life is wildlife.I have spent 20 years with endangered Nilgiri Tahr and was fortunate to be associated with Dr Clifford G Rice when he was doing his research on Nilgiri Tahr. Nilgiri Tahr and Eravikulam National Park has a special place in the recess of my heart.
My second passion is flying. I hold a Private Pilot's license. I do not fly now, as flying has become a very expensive proposition.
I am associated with Nilgiri Tahr conservation now and is a member of CSG/SSC of IUCN
I love adventure movies,fiction and classical music
