Current job description
I am a tiger conservationist. I work in collaboration with government, national and international non-governmental organizations, and local communities in tiger research, anti-poaching programs and conservation, particularly in Nepal. Currently, my work involves community based anti-poaching and biodiversity monitoring. I organize training workshops for local villagers, park rangers in tiger, tiger prey surveys and anti-poaching awareness to build their capacities.
