Yushaa Khan
@yushaakhan
Environmental scientist/ecologist focused on biodiversity, EHS compliance, and sustainability through field data and ESG frameworks.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an Environmental Science graduate with hands-on field experience in ecological surveys, biodiversity assessment, and habitat analysis across wetlands, Himalayan forests, and urban ecosystems. My work centers on turning field observations into decision-ready insights.
I hold ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 Internal Auditor certifications, along with an EOSH certificate. I ground my approach in sustainability management through ISEP (IGNOU), aligning practical compliance with audit-ready, systems thinking.
In projects, I’ve contributed to EHS-relevant outcomes such as designing a fire disaster management plan aligned with NDMA guidelines and assessing wetlands for aquatic macrophytes, waterbirds, and macroinvertebrates (Ramsar-linked work). I’ve also supported solid waste management by characterising waste streams, assessing segregation compliance, and proposing an integrated SWM strategy.
I’m especially interested in sustainability work that connects biodiversity evidence with ESG and environmental performance—through energy auditing, GHG fundamentals (Scope 1 & 2), and ESG frameworks such as GRI, TCFD, CDP, and BRSR. I bring strong report writing, MS Excel data analysis, and a careful, risk-aware mindset to every assignment.
