  • About me

    At WWF-India, I focus on implementing community-based conservation projects. This involves developing comprehensive plans, overseeing their execution, delivering training programs, and working on human-wildlife mitigation measures through pre-assessments and focus group discussions (FGDs). After nearly a year as a Senior Programme Officer, I have enhanced my skills in project management and technical support. My role is crucial for facilitating communication and networking, which are essential for mobilizing communities and promoting environmental education. My commitment to conservation is paired with strong organizational and communication skills, ensuring the success of WWF-India's Western Himalayas Conservation Programme.
