‘Nilgiris A Shared Wilderness’, a film by Sandesh Kadur and Executive Producer Rohini Nilekani, set in the Nilgiri Biosphere where humans and wildlife live side by side, has so far had a profound impact on audiences across India. By highlighting real stories of coexistence between the local communities and the diverse species that call the Nilgiris home, the film challenges common narratives of human-animal conflict and instead places emphasis on a story of resilience, and mutual respect.
