Sky Islands And Starry-Eyed Frogs: Breathtaking Photos Of Remote Ecosystems

Prasenjeet Yadav wants his photos to make people care about the environment — whether it's grasslands vanishing in southwest India or windmills taking over a lizard's habitat.

Prasenjeet Yadav's photography grew out of the wildlife and soil on his father's farm in the central Indian state of Maharashtra.

As a kid he loved nothing more than to watch "the ants and the birds. I'd look at the animals day in and day out," Yadav says. "And not just see to them, but to try to understand what they are doing, to understand their behavior."

That passion to comprehend the bugs and the birds led Yadav to get a master's degree in molecular biology. He eventually studied in Bangalore. Now he describes himself as a "natural history, environment, ecology, conservation, science photographer based in India."
