Tulsi the Tiger: & Stories of His Jungle Friends

Author Biography

Kidnapped by baboons as a baby and, when aged four, a runaway from his family home to look for Cheetah's, Dr Chet Trivedy was destined for a career around wildlife. After nearly 30 years experience in healthcare, dentistry, academia and emergency medicine, also as a cancer specialist, when recovering from a stroke he sought refuge in the company of tigers at the local zoo. The Tulsi Foundation is a voluntary non-profit organisation that was set up in 2016 to support the health of frontline staff who work and live in the jungles of India. To date the Tulsi Foundation with the support of WCT an Indian wildlife charity has trained over 1,100 rangers in 14 tiger reserves across three states in Central India. These staff play a key role in keeping Tulsi the tiger and jungle friends safe and ensuring that these animals are around for future generations to come. We hope that any profits from this book will support this much needed work. More information on our work can be found at www.tulsifoundation.co.uk
