Wildlife Photography Exhibit & Sale

Event Introduction







WILD  ON  WHEELS…
PRESENTS

Come April and Pune will witness a flurry of Indian wilderness. Wild On Wheels… brings to you, in association with OrangeNet
“UNTAME”.
India’s wildlife is famous the world over for its sheer variety. While the Western Ghats are dotted with stretches of rainforests, the north-western part of India is sprinkled with desert sand even as the North is frozen in sheets of snow. From the fertile, marshy field of the Gangetic plains & the mangroves of the Sunderbans to the coasts & the islands, India is loaded with wilderness.
“UNTAME” presents this wilderness for you from all over our country. Photographs taken by people with spectacular perspectives are up at “UNTAME” for you to come and admire as well as purchase.
“UNTAME” is an event organized as part of a fund raiser to help an NGO with wildlife conservation. ‘Wild On Wheels…’ works with wildlife, environmental education in rural & urban areas, environmental law & policy as well as domestic animal rescue and basic first aid training for animal rescue.

 The organization has been working on a local as well as national scale on a range of different issues ranging from river pollution to the ecology of Tigers and Gharials and the communities around their habitats.
“UNTAME” is a charity event where in exquisite photographs depicting Indian wildlife and landscapes will be put up for exhibition and sale. Proceeds from the sales will go partly to the photographers who have generously agreed to contribute with their prized images while the rest of the proceeds will be invested in conservation work by ‘Wild On Wheels…’ in one of their species-habitat based field projects.
Keeping in mind that 50% of India’s population is the youth, images will be priced at a variety of ranges affordable to all and sundry from several walks of life.
Our aim is to spread awareness and ultimately, conserve wildlife. We do not believe that it is only the elite class that needs to be aware. And hence, our effort to reach out to every single person, irrespective of his/her background.
We cordially invite you to grace our event with your presence.
Because you matter.
