Praveen was introduced to the amazing world of nature and wildlife as a teenager. His interest in wildlife and wild places grew into a passion, as did engaging in activities revolving around nature conservation. Praveen’s ardent interest in nature and observation the interactions between people and nature taught him a lot of things. One of them was that people – children, adults and aged folk – needed to know and experience the beauty of nature in all its essence to understand the need to love and cherish it. For without the support of people, conservation and nature protection in its true sense is not possible in today’s world.

Thus eco trails were launched almost fifteen years ago to bring people closer to nature: a tour company that showing guests the stunning beauty of nature across the entire breadth of southern India. He put into practice ideas then novel to India – including sustainable eco-tourism and working with local indigenous communities to provide employment as guides and trackers, conducting various nature awareness programs for students, locals and the urban populace, etc. With many years of practical experience in this field, the concept of a cozy boutique eco-resort where guests can experience nature without compromising on comfort – Ecotones Camps – was born. With Ecotones, bringing people closer to nature has reached another level, with enabling guests to experience local village life, watch and observe rural wildlife and birds, and interact with local cultures like never before. An ardent bird watcher and wildlife photographer, Praveen’s strengths include his never-say-die attitude, his practical approaches to real life issues and his ability to communicate with people. Praveen also works with the Kerala Forest and Tourism Departments to mobilize activities for both nature conservation and sustainable tourism.
