Chatur Ullu in Popular Media
We are actively involved in outreach using popular media and creating nature and wildlife related stories and content. We are constantly in touch with photo-journalists, film-makers, and publishers.
We believe that science should be made available to each and every person in a language they can understand. We try our best to create popular science media based on our research and publicize it through magazines, news paper articles, poems, write ups, blogs, podcasts, graphics, and popular talks.
In case you need content expertise or ideas for your next project, do write to us!
