Arundhati Mohanty

Biography

I am from Mumbai and an alumna of St. Xavier's College wherein I did my masters in the field of life science. For my dissertation, I have looked into the effects of toxin on an animal model system, which is when my interest peaked in the field of wildlife biology and conservation science. Subsequently, I got an opportunity to associate with Wildlife Institute of India and worked on the development of a conservation plan for flamingo's which further fuelled my passion to continue in this field. For my doctorate research I will be looking into the ecology of the Forest owlet in the Melghat landscape with the hope that the research succeeds in establishing better management strategies for the critically endangered endemic bird.
