Biography
My areas of interest are population ecology, landscape ecology and human dimensions in wildlife management. I am currently working as a Project Fellow in DST funded National Mission for Sustaining Himalayan Ecosystem (NMSHE) Programme, where our focus is to assess the effect of climate change on faunal communities. During my Master’s in Biodiversity and Conservation from GGSIP University, Delhi, I have worked on free-ranging dog management programme in Spiti valley, Himachal Pradesh. I eventually joined Wildlife Institute of India as a researcher for the All India Tiger Monitoring Project in 2013. This opportunity helped me gather unique experiences with local communities and park managers in different tiger reserves across the country. I seek to improve my understanding of distribution and dynamics of animal populations, and how to utilize this information to formulate a holistic conservation for threatened species.
