The photographers barnstar for the generous contributions of images to help in improving the state of natural history information in the Indian region. Shyamal (talk) 11:57, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

I am a passionate Naturalist & an Amateur Photographer. I have been trekking a lot since last 15 years. Though a Sr. Govt. Officer by profession, my aim is to create awareness about our Trees & Plants, winged friends (Birds), Butterflies, etc. in particular & nature around us in general.

With this aim in mind I had published a book called 'A Photoguide to the birds of Kolkata & Common birds of India' recently with the help of my friends from all over India & outside. I also held a few Exhibitions mainly focussing on Bird Photography.

With this aim only, 'indiantreepix' - a google group ( http://groups.google.co.in/group/indiantreepix?hl=en ), (around 340 members on 08/04/08) was started for creating awareness about our Flora. I have also started to dabble a bit with oil paints for last few years.

I have recently uploaded thousands of my best images of Birds, Buttterflies, Trees & Plants etc. in Wikimedia Commons & linked them in Wikipedia. These can be viewed at Wiki Media Commons gallery at http://tools.wikimedia.de/~daniel/WikiSense/Gallery.php?wikifam=commons.wikimedia.org&img_user_text=J.M.Garg & their use at Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Jmgarg1
