Biography

Ph.D. University of Minnesota

Fields of Interest

Forest carbon accounting and monitoring; large mammal conservation; habitat management and restoration through community participation; use of Geographic Information System and Remote Sensing for landscape level planning and management; training manpower to strengthen community based conservation and forest carbon accounting.

Research

Identifying remaining natural habitats outside current global protected area system for biodiversity conservation and carbon sequestrations. My goal is to use latest available scientific tools to design, develop, coordinate, implement, monitor and evaluate natural resource management strategies to maximize wildlife conservation, ecosystems services and reducing carbon emissions from forest and other land use changes . I bring to this effort a strong belief in a multi-stakeholder and interdisciplinary approach that encompasses collaboration of ecologists, sociologists and economists working with indigenous people, local communities and government agencies.
