A Special Oceanography Treat: Discover Turtle Walker! 16th April

As part of our Oceanography Camp, we are in for a very special treat—a chance to meet the film crew behind the award-winning documentary Turtle Walker!

This remarkable film tells the inspiring story of Satish Bhaskar, a dedicated conservationist who spent years protecting sea turtles along India’s coastline. His work shows how one person’s determination can make a huge difference in saving endangered species.

Filming Turtle Walker was no easy task. The crew worked in remote locations, often at night, patiently waiting for turtles to arrive, all while making sure they did not disturb these incredible animals. From challenging weather to long expeditions, their journey was as inspiring as the story itself.

We are delighted to welcome:

🎬 Taira Malaney — an award-winning writer, director, and producer whose work explores the deep connection between people and the natural world. Through her films, she brings important environmental stories to life in a powerful and engaging way, helping audiences of all ages understand why protecting our planet matters.

🌍 Anjali Malaney — a director at Vulcan Group and co-founder of the Jnana Foundation, who leads impactful initiatives in education and ecology. Her work focuses on marine conservation, from organising workshops to leading clean-up programmes, inspiring communities and young people to take action for our oceans.

Together, they will share their experiences, stories from behind the scenes, and inspire our young scientists to care for our oceans and the amazing life within them.

This is a unique opportunity to meet real filmmakers and environmental leaders—and to see how science, storytelling, and passion can change the world!
