Colonel Jim Corbett was born in Naini Tal, India on 25 July 1875 and became an expert naturalist, tracker and hunter of man eating tigers and leopards that were common in the Kumaon-Himalayan jungles. He was a great humanitarian throughout his life, giving himself freely to the happiness of the poor. The aim of the Foundation is to gather all friends, relatives and fans of Jim Corbett under one roof. Corbett is the author of 6 wonderful books:
Man eaters of Kumaon (1944)
Man eating Leopard of Rudraprayag (1948)
My India (1952)
Jungle Lore (1953)
Temple Tiger & More Man eaters (1954)
Tree Tops (1955).

There are 3 biographies published about Jim Corbett

Jim Corbett of Kumaon by D.C. Kala (1976)
Carpet Sahib by Martin Booth (1984) and
Under the Shadow of Man eaters by Jerry A. Jaleel F.R.G.S. (1997)
