Biography

My research focuses primarily on the ecology and dynamics of wildlife populations, especially in the context of management and conservation problems. My interests are divided between coastal wetlands and the eastern Himalaya. My research since the year 2001 in the coastal and associated wetlands has involved studies on marine turtles, saltwater crocodiles, Indian skimmers and colonial nesting waterbirds. I have now expanded my research to the eastern Himalaya, and my investigations entail studying threatened faunal species and documenting ecological processes and patterns following human–wildlife interactions. My other interests include understanding wetland ecology and nature photography.
