Hi, I'm Harshavardhan Dhruva
I am from Guwahati, Assam and I love to travel to see new places and meet new people.
It was at Green Hub that I got the chance to do exactly this. I was always fascinated with photography and did extensive freelance work before joining Green Hub. I also attended basic photography and cinematography classes before this course. I have completed my Bachelor’s degree in Multimedia from Punjab Technical University and my Masters in Mass Communication from Gauhati University. At Green Hub however, I got the opportunity to go on shoots and be associated with projects from different places. I was a camera person and editor that worked making a film on elephants that were in Tezpur town. I have also got footage on tiger research in Assam and edited films on hornbills in Arunachal and flora and fauna in Mizoram. During these projects I worked with both Non-Government Organisations (such as Nature Conservation Foundation and Aaranyak) as well as the Forest Department (Dampa Tiger Reserve). In the process of learning how to edit, I got to learn with some well-known film makers such as Rita Banerjee, Gurmeet Sappal, Sanjay Bernela and Suresh Elamon. I have not only been the in-house editor of Green Hub for the last 10 months, but I have borne other responsibilities in the office as well.
Hi, I'm Wanmai Konyak
I am from Mon district in Nagaland.
I am from Mon district in Nagaland. I used to serve as a private teacher in my village – Changlanshu. I completed the Green Hub Fellowship in 2016, during which time I interned with Wildlife Trust of India (WTI) and Wildlife Institute of India (WII). As part of the internship with WTI, I made a film called “Securing the Kalapahar-Daigurung Elephant Corridor” which documented the relocation of Ram Terang village to be made into an elephant corridor. After the Fellowship, as part of Genesis4, I have been working on a series of films for Assam State Biodiversity Board (ASBB). These films focus on the documentation of traditional knowledge of the indigenous tribes of Assam.

I am a nature lover and thinker from Shillong
I have always been curious about wildlife from all across the world. This makes me an enthusiastic photographer and filmmaker. My work has taken me to the high-altitudes of Zemithang to document the activities of WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) in the Community Conserve Area and I hope to go and explore more areas.
Hi, I'm Jimmy Johny Kujur
I am from Ziro in Lower Subansiri district of Arunachal Pradesh.
Hi, I'm Tallo Anthony
I did my Bachelor of Arts from Rajiv Gandhi University in the capital city of Itanagar. But I cultivated a deep passion for wildlife when I worked as a contingency computer operator (2011-2015) with the Shergaon Forest Division. It was then that I developed an interest in photography and videography. I remember that I took the pain to learn the basics of the editing software Sony Vegas and Pinnacle Studio from Youtube so that I could make videos on our local festivals. Once I got into Green Hub, I too was part of the in-house editing team and learnt a lot from my mentors.
I have worked with Aaranyak, Eco-Systems India, Foundation for Ecological Security, Bhutan Glory Eco-Club, Wildlife Institute of India and Arunachal Pradesh Forest Department. My films have spanned diverse themes: from on-ground patrolling teams in Manas National Park to documenting wildlife camps for children around Eaglenest Wildlife Sanctuary and Fakim Wildlife Sanctuary. I have documented the life-history and threats that several species face: from the Asian elephant which is the largest land mammal that we have in India to the Pygmy hog which is the smallest wild pig species found in the wild.
