Research Project:

- “Conservation of Rare and Endangered Biodiversity of Gujarat” Gujarat, sponsored by Gujarat Ecology Commission, Govt. of Gujarat.

This project / study dealt mainly surveying different districts of Gujarat to collect data on the status and distribution of some of the selected threatened species. The micro and macro habitat features for both plant and animal species was recorded based on which species- specific conservation plans were prepared. Further this information was used to assess the conservation status of the species for Gujarat following the IUCN criteria. As part of this I had opportunity to work in Dry Deciduous, Moist Deciduous, Scrub forest, Teak Mixed forest, Semi- evergreen forest, Bamboo forests.
