Britain’s King Charles III and Queen Camilla presented the coveted Elephant Family environmental award to Indian conservationists Kartiki Gonsalves, the filmmaker behind the Oscar-winning documentary The Elephant Whisperers and The Real Elephant Collective (TREC) of 70 Adivasi artists at a ceremony here.
Ms. Gonsalves received the Tara Award, inspired by the sacred bond between elephants and humans to recognise extraordinary achievements in storytelling and advocacy for coexistence.
The debut director collected the award, an elephant statuette , from the royals at an Animal Ball at Lancaster House on Wednesday.
