Heart Surgeon's Wildlife Photos Showcase Conservation
Dr. Ramakanta Panda, a famous heart doctor, loves taking pictures of animals.
He has put his best photos in an art show in Mumbai.
The show has two parts.
One part shows animals from India and Africa, like cheetahs, elephants, and tigers.
The other part shows birds that live in and around Mumbai.
Dr. Panda wants people to understand how important it is to protect animals and their homes.
He believes that when we take care of nature, nature takes care of us.
The money from the show will help protect animals in India and Africa.
