Tiger conservationist Hrishita Negi shares her passion on Coffee & Conversations
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) – Dr. Hrishita Negi, a tiger conservationist, joins QC Life’s Jana Angel for an episode of Coffee & Conversations.
Hrishita is the associate director of Tigers United at Clemson University. She grew up near Kanha Tiger Reserve in Central India, where early encounters with wild tigers inspired her lifelong path in conservation.
Her work now bridges science, technology, and community engagement — whether through conducting field research with rural communities in India, or collaborating on AI-powered camera systems that help prevent human–wildlife conflict in real time.
At the heart of it all, Hrishita is passionate about building connections between people and nature — and between local knowledge and global expertise — so that conservation is not just about saving a species, but about creating more resilient and fulfilling ways of living together.
In this episode, Hrishita shares how her passion for Tiger conservation brought her from Central India to Clemson University in the name of conservation. We talk passion, perseverance, and community without borders.
If you have a cause that is close to your heart and wonder if you can really make a career out of it, this conversation is for you.
