Niladri Sarker

As artists, photographers, and globetrotters who roam the planet in search of rare, endangered wildlife, vanishing cultures, and far-flung natural wonders, the Sarker family, as GeoBeetles, aims to become Earth’s first traveling family to explore all 196 countries and to inspire others to save our world by combating the climate crisis and the sixth mass extinction. We also concentrate heavily on art, especially paintings of endangered animals which we had photographed before. As a means to increase awareness and community action, we hold several art walks and art exhibitions throughout the year, where artwork of various media are displayed and sold. A percentage of the profits generated from these sales get donated to some of the leasing nature and animal conservation organizations around the world.
