Actor Gul Panag on lending voice to wildlife documentaries to be screened on World Earth Day

Actor Gul Panag talks about her experience lending voice to two wildlife documentaries by National Geographic that dive deep into conservation

To be empathetic and not be an animal person is near impossible, says actor Gul Panag. Growing up, she says she would hunt down old issues of National Geographic magazines from bookstores to add to her collection. And so, it appears fitting that on the occasion of World Earth Day on April 22, she voices two films — Tiger Queen of Taru and On the Brink — by National Geographic that look at conservation as part of their Planet Possible initiative. While the former follows Maya, a tigress’ attempts to perpetuate her bloodline, the latter looks at two species, the pangolin and the gharial, that face a threat of extinction.
