| I have been involved in wildlife management, training and research for more than two decades. As an Indian Forest Service officer, I have managed protected areas in the Uttarakhand Himalaya and Uttar Pradesh terai. I have also written management plans for many protected areas of the present day Uttarakhand state. Throughout my professional career, I have been pursuing my interest in birds and have been writing about their distributional patterns. Of late, I have been focussing on Himalayan birds, particularly on the distributional aspects and bird–habitat interactions.
