About Trishant Simlai

I am a conservation researcher primarily interested in the politics and the geographies of wildlife conservation in India. My current research revolves around the rising discourse of conservation militarisation. I focus on the social and political implications of using surveillance technologies such as Camera Traps, Drones, Electronic Eyes and other software in conservation science and practice. I am also interested in the way conservation is practiced in violent environments and links between the illegal wildlife trade and armed conflicts. I also have a very keen interest in animal geographies outside traditional protected areas and in human-dominated landscapes.
