About India Nature Watch

A non-commercial home for India's nature photography and naturalist community, since 2004.

Our Mission

India Nature Watch was founded to share the joy that nature has to offer. We are a non-commercial platform built around India's extraordinary biodiversity — a space where photographers, birders, naturalists, and curious newcomers come together.

Our two goals are simple: showcase the work of Indian nature photographers to a global audience, and introduce people everywhere to the remarkable natural world of the subcontinent.

What We Are

INW is an open community. Whether you are a seasoned professional with thousands of field hours or someone who just spotted their first kingfisher, you belong here. The platform hosts over 650,000 images across birds, mammals, reptiles, butterflies, insects, flora, landscapes, and more — all contributed by members.

Images on INW remain the copyright of their respective photographers. We do not claim any rights over submitted content and operate entirely on a non-commercial basis.
