I did my masters in forestry from Forest Research Institute of India & subsequently joined a project which aimed to monitor tiger & its prey population in Corbett Tiger Reserve. I did my Phd from Saurashtra University where I studied “Population dynamics & resource selection by tiger in Corbett Tiger Reserve”. I have 10 years of experience in camera trap based studies & other animal census techniques. I oversee the National Tiger & Leopard PhotoDatabase at Wildlife Institute of India.
