For the first time someone made a maiden attempt to make city dwellers across the nation aware of the wild places in and around their cities. A very popular project spearheaded by DCP Expeditions, a Mumbai based, one of the fastest growing Wildlife Photography Training academies in India conducts free weekend photo walks across India and also in some other countries. This is a self supported, self funded project conducted without any financial help or external funded support or sponsorship. There are 52 locations identified in and around major cities of India, where 52 consecutive Photo Walks are conducted for 52 weekends covering the entire year. This is an attempt to make all residents of the cities aware of the wilder side of the place they belong to. The walks have become so popular that they have crossed the country borders now.
