Projects at Van Vihar National Park & Zoo
Van Vihar National Park and Zoo is one of the most revered National Park and Zoo in Central India. It has become a shining beacon in the field of conservation and is an ideal example of eco-restoration. It is a national park situated within the city limits of Bhopal and presents a perfect picture of grandeur and tranquility of a forest area. The typical combination of rich wetland areas, meadows, pools of water at different places, rugged sloped, mixed bamboo vegetation along with covered plateau, and areas of mixed plantations support the rich flora and faunal diversity of Van Vihar. It is one of the green oases amidst the city of lakes which also plays a very vital role as a carbon sink contributing to the environmental health of Bhopal.

Citizen Science based Butterfly Survey (2021 & 2022)​​​

​​The landscape of Ratapani Wildlife Sanctuary, Madhya Pradesh comprises different habitats with various plant communities, which makes it an ideal and pioneer area of the central Indian forest to study how the butterfly abundance may indicate the habitat conditions. The first butterfly survey of Ratapani Wildlife Sanctuary, Madhya Pradesh was organized from 10th to 12th September 2021. The second survey was conducted in 30th September to 2nd October 2022. The  survey was a collaborative effort of the M.P. Forest Department, TINSA Ecological Foundation, and Wild Warriors. The survey was designed using a scientific approach to identify and count butterflies in this area. The citizen science-driven monitoring was combined with the scientific data collection & statistical analysis method to generate scientifically sound and robust results, which can confidently put forth recommendations of conservation measures concerning forest variables.

The objectives of this butterfly survey were:

 To establish baseline data of butterflies in Ratapani Wildlife Sanctuary.

 To create public awareness for butterflies and their ecological importance.

Global Engagement Award by the Center for Global Health and Social Responsibility
(University of Minnesota)​​​

​​This interdisciplinary project explores the impact of waste management facilities on community health and biodiversity during the Covid-19 pandemic with specific reference to Goa, India. Our objective is to focus on reciprocity and intersectionality in public health by creating an innovative model of collaborative research, capacity building, and active learning. This project
will foster long-term mutual partnerships with academic institutions and local communities in India by incorporating longitudinal research and a bidirectional learning model. We will further use visual storytelling to disseminate our results and connect the specific stories generated by our project with other histories of health inequities around the world.
