 MEMBER OF THE MONTH – SAMPLE
Kartik Shanker
Country: India
Occupation: Research
Best part about my job: Field work in exotic places
Biggest challenges I
face: Balancing research and conservation and my personal life
The most unusual or
exciting thing that's happened to me while working in the field: My first arribada, my first leatherback, the reticulated python that fell out of the tree
Why I like being a member
of the MTSG: The opportunity to provide the best research for conservation
Turtle researcher /
conservationist I most admire:
Brian Bowen / Satish Bhaskar (amongst contemporaries: B. Godley / J. Nichols
When I'm not working on
turtles I like to: Beat J. Nichols (or anyone) on the basketball court. And listen to B. Godley rant at 3 am
Ten years from now, I
hope I will be doing: More of the same
