Gaurav Sirola
Consultant - B (Policy)

I’m Gaurav Sirola, a wildlife ecologist with a deep passion for nature and conservation. I was born and raised in the Pithoragarh District of Uttarakhand, where my fascination with wildlife began at an early age. This interest led me to pursue my graduation and post-graduation in Zoology from the University of Delhi and Jiwaji University, respectively.

In 2017, I joined the Wildlife Institute of India (WII), where I’ve been fortunate to contribute to several significant conservation projects. These include documenting traditional ecological knowledge in the Himalayas through the NMSHE project, working on trans-boundary tiger recovery, and assessing the impacts of power-lines on bird species in regions like Kachchh and Assam. These projects have given me valuable experience in species monitoring, spatial data analysis, and developing conservation strategies.

Currently, I serve as a Consultant B in the Elephant Cell under the Project Elephant Division at the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC), focusing on elephant conservation and management across India.
