Dr. Latika Nath, often called the “Tiger Princess of India,” is a wildlife biologist, photographer, and conservationist who has spent her life studying and protecting one of the planet’s most elusive predators. Featured by National Geographic and the first Indian woman to earn a doctorate on tigers, she has combined science, fieldwork, and art to tell the story of these extraordinary animals in ways few others can.
In this episode, we explore the ecological status of tigers today, how their strength and behavior compare to other apex predators, and what it takes to photograph an animal that doesn’t want to be seen. Latika also shares her personal journey—breaking barriers in a male-dominated field, balancing ethics with artistry, and building a life around the survival of a species that has come to define her own story.
