At IUCN, I’m implementing the RECAP4NDC Forest Landscape Restoration project, translating restoration science into field-level action. I’ve validated ecological field data with the Pune Forest Department and reviewed FLR plans for model sites in Delhi and Gujarat.
At Network for Certification & Conservation of Forests, I co-led revisions to India’s Sustainable Forest Management Standard and developed an EUDR-aligned due diligence framework. I’ve also designed training programmes for forestry professionals and forest staff, connecting biodiversity conservation with sustainable forest management.
