Irshad Mobarak has been a keen naturalist since his childhood. Inspired by the lives and deeds of pioneer naturalists and explorers such as the legendary Alfred Russel Wallace and the renowned botanist , writer and environmental campaigner, Professor David Bellamy, Irshad left his banking career and walked down the path of Natural History. He has been deeply moved by the plight of the animal and plant world and the perilous relationship they have with man at this moment in history . He has devoted his life to helping ordinary people unlock the mysteries of the natural world. To help achieve this role he founded Natural History Tours, a company which specialises in wildlife tours on Langkawi and nearby islands, with a focus on the Natural History of birds, plants , butterflies , rainforest fauna as well as marine fauna.
