After working in a bank for 23 long years, Mr. Suresh took voluntary retirement in 2001 to concentrate on his hobbies – natural history and wildlife photography.

Now a full-time naturalist, wildlife photographer, filmmaker and writer, he has published several articles and photographs on natural history and conservation in leading magazines. His book on butterflies for children won him five State Awards. Suresh collaborated with the BBC Natural History Unit in the making of the film Monsoon Forest (Land of the Tiger series) and David Attenborough’s Life of Birds. He has independently made several video documentaries on the natural heritage of Kerala.
