On World Wildlife Day, RoundGlass Sustain, a digital platform telling stories of India’s natural world, has released 50 Deep Dives on animal species found in India. These Deep Dives are media-rich repositories of knowledge on a range of species that use video, writing, powerful imagery, humour, infographics and much more to provide information that is freely accessible to all.
The Deep Dives have something for all ages, and users can delve deeper into a species based on their interests. The impactful storytelling highlights our connection with the natural world and sparks introspection. All the content in the Deep Dives is created or fact checked by experts to ensure scientific accuracy, making this a great resource for school and college students or even those studying for their civil services exams.
Talking about the launch of 50 Deep Dives on World Wildlife Day, Neha Dara, the business head of RoundGlass Sustain said: “We see our offering as a resource for inquiring minds who want to delve deeper into India’s wildlife and its protection. We believe that the thoughtfully curated content on each species will spark introspection about the interconnectedness of everything in our world and our role within it.”
The Deep Dives include little-known facts and unique behaviour about popular species like the tiger, elephant, and rhino. They also include heartwarming stories of lesser-known but no less remarkable species that coexist with us. They also contain documentation from pioneering scientific expeditions revealing new information about barely-known species.

So far, it has created more than 1900 pieces of content on its website roundglasssustain.com which include:
