2024

Our 2024 Research Grant recipient was Vishal Subramanyan. Vishal is an award-winning wildlife photographer and now recent graduate from the University of California, Berkeley known for his stunning images of California nature—from elusive bobcats to rare badgers. Using camera traps, telephoto lenses, and other photography techniques, he captures unique imagery that raises awareness about conservation and inspires action. With an academic background in ecology, Subramanyan integrates science into his storytelling efforts to create deeply compelling stories. Vishal has been taking part in a collaborative new effort to capture some of the first ever high-quality photos of California’s newly established wolf packs. This camera trap work will support research aimed at learning more about wolves in California and their role on the landscape.
