Conservation efforts in India began relatively recently, with hunting being banned in 1972. Post-ban, wildlife tourism surged, leading to increased human-wildlife conflict due to urban development and receding forests. Many tour operators focus more on profits than on supporting local habitat or communities. Larry aims to change this by committing 20% of his profits to conservation and collaborating with like-minded hospitality brands. He leverages connections for optimal tiger safari experiences while advocating for community financial support from tourism revenues.
"Dollars that come from tiger safaris must go into the surrounding communities," he said.
Larry has pledged 20 percent of his profits to conservation organizations and works only with hospitality brands that share his values.
