Bengaluru : The curtains came down on the Wildlife Week celebrations with the photography exhibition ‘Encounters in the Wild 2.0’ at Chitrakala Parishat concluding on Sunday. The exhibition commemorating the golden jubilee of Project Tiger witnessed thousands of visitors from different walks of life.

Forest minister Eshwar B Khandre lauded the efforts of former additional principal chief conservator of forests MN Jayakumar to drive home the message of wildlife conservation.
