I am an Idu Mishmi woman from Dibang Valley, Arunachal Pradesh. I completed my post-graduate studies in Zoology at Rajiv Gandhi University in Itanagar, where I did my dissertation on the nesting sites and forage plants of the Himalayan giant honeybee (Apis laboriosa), a high-altitude subspecies. Following my master's degree, I undertook a small project examining human-nonhuman relations and wildlife abundance in East Kameng, Arunachal Pradesh. Currently with NCF, I study how regular formal education influences Indigenous relations with wildlife in Arunachal Pradesh. My doctoral research explores the impacts of education on traditional Indigenous cosmology, human–wildlife relations, and hunting practices of Arunachal Pradesh. By integrating ethnography with ecological approaches such as camera trapping, I hope to understand transitions in socio-ecological relations in Arunachal Pradesh.
