I am an Ecological Anthropologist & Ethnobiologist. I study how humans from various cultures all around the world affect plant and animal ecosystems and how human use of these ecosystems affects the wildlife populations. This is known by various names such as: Ecosystem Services, Human-Wildlife Interactions, Ecosystem Function. I study all various aspects of the "Human-Wildlife Interface" while dealing with issues associated with Wildlife Conservation, Biodiversity Loss, Global Climate Change, Anthropogenic Factors Affecting Wildlife & Habitat, Anthropocene Epoch Related Issues, Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) Systems of Indigenous People's. I am also a National Science Foundation Summer Scholar. I utilize "Integrated Biological Approaches" from the fields of both Anthropology & Wildlife Biology/Ecology when conducting research for the 21st century. I am also the founder and creator of "Integrated Human-Nature Relations".

Mr. Paudel currently serves as a senior program manager at Bird Conservation Nepal. He has over fourteen years of experience in bird and biodiversity conservation, fundraising, project planning and implementation, and engaging with local communities to safeguard threatened bird species.

I have a strong background in wildlife and ecological conservation, wildlife medicine, research, publications, literature synthesis, and project management. My passion is to continue contributing to projects, research, and programs that promote biodiversity, conservation efforts, disease mitigation, sustainable and ethical practices, the advancement of science, and foster a more responsible connection between humans and ecosystems. I believe in the One Health approach to conservation and its strong focus on community based initiatives along with a strong emphasis on biodiversity preservation are necessary for project success.  I am currently an independent consultant/researcher, recently focused on analyzing illegal wildlife trafficking incidents, human-wildlife conflict, wildlife disease mitigation, and facilitating project support for reserves/wildlife parks, biodiversity NGOs, and researchers. I am currently working to help launch a large multifaceted project within the Amazonian corridor of Ecuador. In early 2025 I collaborated with the Institute for Ecology and Conservation of Nature (IECN) executing a broad range biodiversity monitoring project within Pu Mat national park for an ongoing molecular, pathogenic, bio-banking and analysis of herpetofaunal populations found in Vietnam. I was able to help them integrate updated biosecurity measures and expand their disease pathogen testing.  In my most recent office role I spent a significant amount of time conducting audits and risk assessments (animal sourcing, emerging disease threats, etc.), collecting and analyzing data, managing projects, developing provocative and innovative, informational/educational content, and synthesizing scientific publications for a variety of stakeholders. Measurement, auditing, analysis, and evaluation of programs to ensure compliance is something I routinely did. The purpose was to provide relevant information to engage continued support from stakeholders in efforts to conduct more sustainable and responsible and ethical business practices, sourcing of materials and animals.  In my previous career I was involved in supporting the development of in country projects/initiatives and facilitating active field operations and logistics on a variety of projects for domestic and foreign government entities.
