Tanzin Thuktan

Field Technician, High Altitudes

I am Tanzin Thuktan from a very beautiful village called Kibber in Spiti valley, Himachal Pradesh. I have been working with NCF (Nature Conservation Foundation) for the last four years. In the past I have worked as a field assistant with Mayank Kohli’s when he was collecting data for his Master’s degree. Later on in 2012 I worked with Rishi’s camera trapping. Now I am handling camera trap work in NCF’s High Altitude Programme.
