Bibidishananda a.k.a BB as he is fondly called, is a trained botanist with a passion for wildlife, with a deep interest in plant taxonomy and plant-animal interactions. He is intrigued by the diversity of species and is keen to understand the reasons behind this diversity and how different plants and animals co-exist. Hailing from a village in West Bengal, he remembers his childhood as a wild one. Nature and wildlife shaped his worldview at a young age, and he spent his early years observing plants and a range of animals. Having finished his undergraduate and graduate degrees in Botany, BB decided to pursue his interest in wildlife through the lens of a botanist. Following his passion, now he is interested in working on frugivory and seed dispersal in tropical forests and how these interactions shape the community. Previously, he has worked on the taxonomy and molecular ecology of different plants and mammals. Apart from wildlife, he loves to cook and is an ardent sports lover. He believes that cooking and sports both bring inclusivity in his life, as in both cases one will be judged by the end result or performance, not by anything else.
