Nepal Clouded Leopard Project
Nepal is amazingly bio-diverse owing to a great range of climate and altitude. It is currently known to hold 12 species of wild cat species which are found from lowlands to high mountains. My interest and work involves in understanding their distribution within the country as well as factors that affect it. I am also interested in spatio-temporal interaction of these species among themselves as well as with their preys.

Currently I am working on clouded leopard conservation under Nepal Clouded Leopard Project.
Small Carnivores Project
Small carnivores are important component of our ecosystem playing the role of meso-carnivores. Some species like palm civets and yellow-throated martens work as well as seed dispersers in many ecosystems. Nepal has a total of xx species of small carnivores.
​
I plan to outline the geographical ranges of these species in the country which has not been carried out unfortunately. I am also interested in the way they interact and influence with their preys as well as the ecosystem they live in.
Identification of Important Wildlife Areas in Nepal
Working on a single species has some distinct advantages however it also has its own frailties. When conserving a landscape or an ecosystem it is especially important to know in detail about the community ecology or how ecosystem works. Knowledge on single species of the large ecosystem contributes very little in solving the bigger problem. Hence I work in identifying important landscapes in the country that provides important refuge to highly important wildlife species. I have just started this project. I will keep detail on the website later
