I navigate the world of Geographical Information Systems (GIS), forest inventories, and the trio of Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint. I have a knack for identifying trees, managing forests, and wildlife conservation. Cartography is my artistic sidekick in this adventure.
Beyond the forest, you'll find me delighting in cricket matches, losing myself in movies, and cruising on a cycle. I'm all about finding the symphony in nature and humanity. If you're curious or fancy a chat, ask away!

A warm welcome to WildHub Manish! Great to have you join us.
Question: What did you wish you would have known before you started managing forests and could be useful to share with other forestry professionals now? Would be great for us to learn more from you through your work!
Certainly! Managing forests is a dynamic task, and there are a few things I wish I had known before starting. Firstly, building good relationships with local communities and stakeholders is crucial. Understanding their needs and involving them in decision-making can lead to more sustainable and successful forest management. Secondly, the importance of continuous learning is immense. Stay updated on new technologies, research, and best forestry practices. It helps in making informed decisions and adapting to changing environmental conditions. Lastly, effective communication is key. Clear and transparent communication fosters understanding and cooperation, Whether conveying information to your team or explaining forest management plans to the community. These insights have been valuable in my journey.
Thank you for sharing your insights, Manish! Much appreciated.
It may be interesting to write a lessons learned piece to cover your above insights in more detail. Please find our Contributor Guidelines if you would like to do this independently, or you can team up with one of our Conservation Catalyst and send them a message to interview you (e.g. @Oluwadamilare AJAYI or @Adekanle Godslove Damilola ) Thanks!
