He has experience of working on fauna of Indian Trans-Himalaya, Terai-Arc landscape, Deccan peninsula, and freshwater ecosystem of India. He is experienced in ecological studies on birds and mammals, biodiversity profiling in terrestrial as well as aquatic ecosystem, assessing the impact of mining, cost- benefit analysis, socio-economics and ecosystem services studies, human-wildlife conflict and preparing management plans.

He pursued his doctoral research in Terai-Arc Landscape on “Effect of landscape hererogeneity on biodiversity and its management implication in Ramnagar Forest Division, Uttarakhand”. Post Phd., he assessed the impact of mining on the biodiversity and tangible and intangible resources in Similipal-Satkosia corridor. 

His present area of focus is conservation and management of biodiversity of Indian rivers, 

Specialization: Wildlife Ecology, Riverscape Management, Landscape Ecology, Human-Dimension In Wildlife Conservation, Human-Wildlife Interaction, Trans-Himalayan Fauna
