Encourages awareness on World Endangered Species Day

Known for his intense roles on screen, Hooda revealed that capturing the beauty of endangered animals through his lens has been his passion for the past few years. Sharing insights into his love for nature, the 'Jaat' actor emphasized the importance of conservation and raising awareness about threatened species. Taking to his Instagram handle, the actor shared a couple of photos featuring tigers. He also posted an image of himself holding a big camera while capturing wildlife animals.

For the caption, Randeep penned a lengthy note that read, “It’s a finely balanced and sensitive ecosystem that we call Mother Earth. One species disappearing will lead to many affected or worse, ceasing to exist. On Endangered Species Day let’s appreciate and be conscious of this beauty of an interdependence.”

“If the current set of endangered species are not conserved, humans will become the same in the future !! My relation with the nature and my love for capturing the beauty of nature and those that inhabit it started years ago. There’s a great feeling in being close and respectfully observing and capturing these magnificent creatures, and each time it makes me feel that if only humans learn that co-existing is the only truth we should know of. With my friend @saroshlodhi in the last pic, capturing wildlife together since many years…”

World Endangered Species Day is observed annually on the third Friday of May, which this year falls on May 16. The day highlights the many species at risk due to human impact, habitat destruction, climate change, and poaching.

On the work front, Randeep Hooda was last seen in Gopichand Malineni’s action drama “Jaat” alongside Sunny Deol. In the film, he played the role of ruthless antagonist Ranatunga.

While I appreciate his efforts, I wish he'd mention specific conservation projects people can support. Just posting photos on Instagram isn't enough - we need actionable steps to protect these species.

His transformation from intense actor to wildlife enthusiast is amazing! Shows how versatile he is. The message about coexistence is so important - we've forgotten how to live with nature in our concrete jungles. 🌿

Great initiative! But I hope he's following proper wildlife photography ethics - no baiting or disturbing animals for that perfect shot. Many photographers cross the line in pursuit of Instagram fame.

As someone from a village near Jim Corbett Park, I've seen how tourism affects wildlife. Glad someone with influence is talking about this! Maybe he can visit our area and highlight local conservation efforts too.

His passion shows in those photos! But I wonder - does he practice what he preaches? Hope he's minimizing his carbon footprint too. Celebrities often fly private jets while preaching about conservation. Just saying!
