As a passionate environmentalist , I have developed a keen interest in observing the natural world around me. I have done my masters dissertation on “Study on animal roadkills in Bandipur National Park”. My interest lies in wildlife conservation, human-wildlife conflict and animal behaviour. Currently I work on otters outiside protected areas and their conflict mitigation strategies. By understanding the social and landscape attributes in human wildlife interface I believe it will help not only in reducing human-wildlife conflict but also in formulating effective conservation plans.
