Her news reports helped halt the construction of an illegal shopping mall on the Yamuna riverbed and an illegal mine in Goa. She took on the then chief minister of Uttar Pradesh who wanted to drain wetlands inhabited by sarus cranes for an airstrip (and won a Wildscreen - Green Oscar - award in the process). Bahar has run an animal ambulance for injured primates, helped build rope bridges for the colobus monkey in Africa, studied a troop of Amazonian monkeys at the world-famous Jersey Zoo in the UK and worked for over a decade with a traditional community of snake charmers helping them fi nd livelihood options in tune with wildlife laws. Her reportage has pushed the boundaries of environment journalism from an obscure segment on the daily news to prime time television.Broadcaster, writer and closet baker, she now lives a more ordinary life in New Delhi with her husband and dog Musibat.ver menos
