My thesis work emphasized more on the lesser studied taxa of the globe, the gliding squirrels of the Eastern Himalayas. Currently, I am in a phase to expand my knowledge on this taxa from different regions of the eastern Himalayas and to look at the ecology and site specific challenges that the species face. Also, I am more interested in building cross-country collaborations in this field and have recently initiated as such. Get in touch.. I'm open for collaborations..

covered after seven decades of presumed extinction and remains one
of the least studied mammalian species. This study was conducted in
the Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand, India, and aimed to assess local
communities' awareness of the species and their potential role in its
conservation. From August 2023 to January 2024, we conducted
surveys in four villages, interviewing 65 individuals from Pahadi and
Nepali communities. Results revealed limited familiarity with the
squirrel, highlighting the need for targeted conservation education.
Despite extensive camera trap surveys, conclusive evidence of the
species' presence was not found, prompting concerns about its
population status in the study area. Our findings show the importance
of further research and community engagement for effective conser-
vation. This study emphasises the need to align conservation efforts
with community involvement for sustainable outcomes.
