An explorer and an aspirant biodiversity conservation researcher. I seek to delve deeper into the study of the human-nature nexus and strive to foster more harmonious coexistence. I have gained brief experience in wildlife conservation at the Creative Conservation Alliance, working with Western Hoolock Gibbons and a few other wild animals. I am also working as an Associate Trainer at Mekateam, a game-based pedagogy where I provide training on basic climate literacy and biodiversity conservation to youth. Moreover, I synthesize and express my understanding of biodiversity and the natural world through my initiative, 'Toru.' Currently, I am undertaking research on Asian Elephants addressing the human-elephant conflict in Bangladesh.
I am a skilled professional with eight years of experience in Monitoring, Evaluation, Research & Learning (MERL) for USAID-funded projects. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Demography with Economics and a Master of Science in Public Health, both from the University of Zambia. Currently, I oversee MERL activities for the USAID funded project to achieve landscape outcomes and ensure compliance with USAID requirements. My role involves managing metrics dashboards, overseeing research and data collection, and sharing lessons learned for adaptive management. I am proficient in statistical packages (SPSS, Stata, Epi-data, SMARTCARE) and Microsoft Office Suite, and excel in multi-disciplinary and cross-cultural team settings.
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.
