Ashwika Kapur, India's youngest and only woman to win a Green Oscar in a global category, shares her journey from documenting the cruel reality of illegal wildlife hunts in West Bengal to inspiring conservation through her film, *Catapults to Cameras*. Using an innovative approach, she handed cameras to children from hunting villages to change their perspective on wildlife. This groundbreaking project, now a conservation initiative, has earned a nomination at the prestigious Jackson Wild Media Awards. Kapoor discusses the challenges of wildlife filmmaking, the power of storytelling, and the importance of hope in environmental conservation.
