About Jim Corbett

Edward James Corbett, the British Indian hunter, tracker, conservationist and author was born on 25th July 1875 in Nainital, India. He gained fame for hunting several man-eating tigers and leopards in the early 20th century. Through frequent excursions, he learnt to identify, track and understand the behavior of the animals and the birds alike. This proficiency in tracking and understanding the signs earned him great respect and admiration.

Apart from hunting the dangerous man-eating animals, he was deeply concerned about the conservation of wildlife and their habitat and became a vocal advocate for the protection of endangered species.

Jim Corbett wrote about his adventures in his books the Man eaters of Kumaon, The Jungle lore and Man-eating leopards of Rudraprayag and The Temple Tiger and more man eaters of Kumaon.
