For a long time, I viewed wildlife from a disengaged, third-person perspective. However, during the final stages of my bachelor's degree, I developed a deep interest in ecology. This passion grew during my master's in Environmental Sciences and Resource Management at the TERI School of Advanced Studies. My work on the impacts of nitrogen pollution on temperate forest soil further solidified my commitment to ecological research. With a keen interest in community dynamics and a curiosity about the effects of land use changes, I pursued my master's thesis on how avian frugivores, fruiting resources, and their interactions are influenced by the conversion of rainforests to shade coffee plantations. I am eager to delve deeper into plant-animal interactions and the ecosystem services they provide, particularly in human-modified landscapes. In addition to being a novice researcher, I am also an experienced anime and Hallyu enthusiast.
