My Services

I provide applied research and analytical services at the interface of agriculture, forestry, biodiversity, and wildlife conservation. My work supports evidence-based decision-making through field-based ecological assessments, vegetation and habitat structure analysis, wildlife–habitat relationship studies, and land use and land cover mapping using remote sensing and GIS. I assist institutions, conservation programs, and development projects in evaluating the ecological impacts of land-use change and agricultural practices, and in designing practical conservation and management strategies. My services also include data-driven conservation planning, ecosystem service assessment, and support for sustainable agriculture and forestry initiatives that balance productivity with biodiversity conservation. The focus is on delivering clear, actionable insights that translate scientific data into effective on-ground conservation and landscape management outcomes.
