RESEARCH

Picture

My earlier research work focused on studying populations of the critically endangered gharial Gavialis gangeticus in National Chambal Sanctuary, with the conservation organization Tiger Watch in Rajasthan, India.

​In 2009–​2010, I assisted in research projects examining forest degradation in central India, human-wildlife interactions and local livelihoods around Indian wildlife reserves, conservation potential of nature-based tourism, and land-use changes around protected reserves.

​​From 2012 to 2015, I worked with Wildlife Conservation Society–​India, gaining expertise in field surveys of large mammals (camera trapping, sign surveys, distance sampling methods) and population modeling/monitoring techniques. I worked on providing technical and statistical support for studies of large carnivores in India and Thailand. I was also involved with communication and outreach activities of the organization.

My current research deals with studying carnivore ecology and human–carnivore interactions across multiple landscapes in India. My PhD work focused on population ecology and conservation of dholes. I have eleven papers on dholes published and three in preparation. I was part of the 2015 IUCN assessment on dholes. I am also a member of the IUCN Species Survival Commission Canid Specialist Group and the IUCN Dhole Working Group.
