Suyash Tilak has come a long way from majoring in Environmental Science as a young collegian in Pune, to the silver screen as an actor in popular Marathi films like Classmates (2015) and Hashtag Prem (2021). Yet, he has not given up on the wanderlust completely, just yet. When he is not shooting at the buzzing Goregaon Film City, you might bump into Tilak closely observing wildlife in the lush green forests of the Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) nearby. “It’s a travesty that people book safaris halfway around the globe, but remain oblivious to the treasures in their backyard,” he rues.

Biodiverse Trails, Tilak’s new venture that blends leisure and nature education for beginners and intermediates promises to change Mumbai’s “nature-blindness”. “The COVID 19 lockdown was an eye-opener. We saw firsthand how nature flourished when human interference was reduced to the bare minimum. Remember all the news headlines about species resurfacing after years of being elusive?” Tilak reminds us. The tours will put education at the centre of the experience, the actor claims. With each tour beginning with a briefing session that informs participants of the history and significance of the trail, experts from Tilak’s team will be at the curious participants’ service in case of questions and queries.
