I’m an enthusiastic plant researcher driven by a deep passion for nature, trees, and wild landscapes. With a solid background in plant taxonomy, tree breeding, and forest ecology, I’ve developed strong skills in identifying native flora, conducting biodiversity surveys, and assessing carbon stock in trees. My interest lies especially in the reproductive biology of native tree species across the Western Ghats, where I’ve spent considerable time exploring forest dynamics. My work often involves trekking through ecologically diverse terrains—documenting wildlife and plant behavior, collecting data, and engaging with local communities. These immersive experiences have strengthened my understanding of ecosystem interactions and the urgent need for inclusive conservation efforts. I’m particularly passionate about ecological restoration and long-term forest monitoring. I aim to study how forests evolve over time through natural regeneration, species succession, and carbon sequestration. I believe ecological restoration is more than just planting trees—it’s about restoring ecosystem function, native biodiversity, and cultural connections to the land. I am committed to promoting restoration practices that are native species-rich, science-based, and community-oriented. Through collaboration with research institutions and NGO's & conservation organizations, I’ve been part of various projects that bridge field research with practical conservation action. I believe in using science as a tool to inform forest management, policy, and conservation planning—supporting landscapes that are resilient, biodiverse, and climate-ready. I’m always open to opportunities that involve working with passionate teams and institutions focused on ecological restoration, wildlife conservation, and taxonomic research. My goal is to contribute meaningfully to preserving biodiversity while building evidence-based strategies for sustainable ecosystem recovery. I also believe in integrating local and Indigenous knowledge with ecological science to make restoration more inclusive, effective, and long-lasting. I am increasingly focused on monitoring forest health indicators and mapping restoration outcomes to better understand the trajectory of recovering ecosystems. 🌱 #TreeBreeding #PlantTaxonomy #ForestEcology #CarbonStockAssessment #EcologicalRestoration #BiodiversitySurvey #ForestDynamics #ConservationScience #LoveTrees🌲 #FieldResearch #WildlifeConservation #SustainableLandscapes
