Jim Corbett

Edward James "Jim" Corbett was a British-Indian hunter and conservationist renowned for tracking and killing man-eating tigers and leopards in India.

Born to Irish parents in India, Corbett developed a deep love for the country's jungles and wildlife.

He served as a colonel in the British Indian Army and was often called upon by the government to eliminate dangerous predators threatening village communities.

Corbett later became an ardent conservationist, advocating for wildlife protection.

He authored several books about his experiences, including the famous "Man-Eaters of Kumaon." Corbett's efforts in conservation led to the establishment of India's first national park, which was later renamed in his honor.
