“My research focuses on avian species’ ecology, conservation, and biodiversity in various habitats. I study the impacts of environmental changes on bird populations, their behaviour, and habitat use. My ongoing projects include assessing threatened bird species, habitat restoration efforts, and the role of avifauna in ecosystem services. Additionally, I am investigating the economic importance of birds and strategies to mitigate threats to their survival.”
