In a small, crowded and unassuming office, two brothers, Imran and Asif Siddiqui, are packing up their gear — a GPS tracker, a few maps and binoculars.
They are headed to the Srisailam-Nagarjuna Sagar Tiger Reserve.
They are not forest rangers.
Founders of the Hyderabad Tiger Conservation Society (Hyticos), they like to call themselves wildlife lovers and conservationists.
Asif tells us Imran's heart has always beat a little more for the animals.
“We were very young and had gone to the Nehru Zoological Park with my cousins and parents. While coming back we realised that Imran was missing. When we went back to fetch him, we saw him noting down all available information about the animals…he wasn’t even aware that we had left him and gone.”
