About the authors:

Labonie Roy is a designer, illustrator, and artist, working towards creating engaging learning resources for children and adults. Growing up, she spent most of her time peering among plants for bugs, collecting leaves, petting every passing dog, and devouring every nature book and documentary she came across. Not much has changed since then, except that she now shares her passions with others through her work whether it’s creating classroom tools or writing children’s books about the natural world. Her background in Sociology and Anthropology paired with her experience as a learning resource creator helps her weave together stories that celebrate curiosity, representation, and our connection to nature.

Suhel Quader is a Senior Scientist at the Nature Conservation Foundation. His training is in wildlife biology, animal behaviour and evolutionary ecology. His current interests are focussed on participatory science and in techniques and problems in data science. In addition, he works on public communication and education about birds and nature.

Vena Kapoor is a nature educator and conservation practitioner with over 23 years of research and in-practice experience in the conservation sector. She founded Nature Classrooms in late 2018 (started as an initiative of NCF's EPE Programme) to design age-appropriate, locally-culturally relevant nature learning modules, conduct immersive training workshops to connect teachers and educators to the natural world, and to guide them to integrate nature learning as part of everyday school curricula. She loves integrating her passion for insects, spiders, and community engagement to rekindle and reimagine nature learning in India.
