Episode 15
Prasenjeet Yadav is a National Geographic photographer based in India whose work in wildlife and nature photography has been published in the National Geographic's yellow border magazine. Imagine living in the remotest mountains on earth for months, alone trying to catch a glimpse of one of the rarest animals on earth, often in minus 40C degree cold and in the very barest of creature comforts. That was Prasenjeets life for month's before COVID19 hit the world and for him lockdown and quarantine at home with internet and cooked food is like a luxury vacation.
We met each other in 2015 at the National Geographic Headquarters for the Young Explorer's meetup and have been friends since. He is a molecular biologist by training who grew up on a farm in the jungles of India. He describes his youth as having tigers often walking into their front yard and growing up with an inherent curiosity about the natural world around him. His amazing work with the Snow Leopards in the remote Himalayan mountains of India can be found in the pages of this month's issue of National Geographic Magazine.
I think for many of us who are Nat Geo Explorers the phrase live curiously is almost a given. But for Prasenjeet he has taken living curiously to a level that has taken him to some of the highest most remote mountains in the world and into places and situations many of us can only dream of being in and the limit to what he can do is really just the breadth of his imagination.
