Wildlife photography exhibition to showcase Andhra Pradesh biodiversity in Vizag
A wildlife photography exhibition featuring 150 images of Andhra Pradesh's biodiversity is set to open at Hawa Mahal in Visakhapatnam. The event aims to raise awareness about conservation and includes displays of field equipment used by forest personnel.
Why it matters
The exhibition serves as an educational tool to bridge the gap between public perception of wildlife and the practical realities of conservation efforts.
The forests, wetlands, grasslands and coastal habitats of Andhra Pradesh will take centre stage at Hawa Mahal this weekend. A wildlife photography exhibition at Hawa Mahal on October 3 and 4 will showcase 150 photographs documenting the varied biodiversity of Andhra Pradesh.
Organised by WildVizag in collaboration with the Andhra Pradesh Forest Department and Nagarjunasagar Srisailam Tiger Reserve (NSTR), the exhibition is being held as part of World Wildlife Week 2026. It will bring together 23 wildlife photographers from Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, with their photographs offering glimpses of the State’s forests, protected areas, habitats and wildlife.
The exhibition has been planned as an information-rich display rather than a collection of photographs alone. A dedicated display on various wildlife sanctuaries of Andhra Pradesh will explain their ecological significance and the species they support.
