Biography

I hail from the village Thovina, Suru valley of (Kargil) Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir. My interaction with wildlife began as a child when I saw a Red fox catching poultries in the village. My interest in species around me motivated me to join the field of conservation. I did my Bachelor from University of Jammu, J&K and postgraduate in wildlife science from University of Kota, Rajasthan with a dissertation on “Socio Economic Survey of Villages in Core Area of Mukundara Hills Tiger Reserve, Kota, Rajasthan”. I have also volunteered with WWF. Currently, I’m a Himalayan Junior Research Fellow at Zoological Survey of India, Kolkata. For my Ph.D, I am interested to study the climate change and how it affects Lepidoptera especially Butterflies in the Himalayas. I see myself in future as a contributor to the conservation of nature by my little efforts.
