Ridhima

Psp coordinator, Wwf

I have a doctorate in wildlife sciences and forestry. My specialization has always been landscape and community ecology and I focussed on the guild of carnivores to understand the same in my PhD. I invested in ornithology to overcome stress and am very vocal about walking in the jungle in the company of birds for good mental health. Currently, I am handling a few projects under the PSP portfolio where I am looking into safeguards for linear infrastructure and also for the conservation of small cats. I love writing especially about nature, interdisciplinary connections of the same, and policy to practice.
