I am a conservationist based in Nepal. I did my MSc in Conservation and International Wildlife Trade from DICE-Kent. I am currently working to understand the trade dynamics of some of the most traded medicinal plants like orchids and yews.
I am interested in understanding how socioeconomic and behavioral factors interact and impact the wildlife trade (incl. the online trade spectrum and various stakeholders in it) and using this knowledge in designing effective conservation actions.
Ecologist with extensive terrestrial practical survey, training and education, consultancy and advisory experience. Extensive wildlife conservation research and land management project experience as well as in working in forestry, agriculture and natural resource management, climate change resilience and disaster recovery. I've also lectured on field survey techniques, environmental impact assessments and flood and fire risk management and am also working on climate change impacts and mitigation. Open to short term consultancy projects.
I am a wildlife conservationist with a dedication for ecological monitoring. Throughout my career, I have worked in various ecosystems, including lakes conserving manatees, marine spaces monitoring sharks and rays, and terrestrial habitats in Cameroon's tropical forests and savannahs, focused on conserving terrestrial mammals. I am on wildhub to build my network and scale up my knowledge and skills in wildlife monitoring.
