Where I Come From, And What Drives the Work
Forestry isn't just my degree — it's the lens I use to look at every landscape.
I am an independent forestry specialist and GIS consultant based in Nepal, holding a BSc in Forestry from the Institute of Forestry, Pokhara. My experience bridges spatial data analytics and rigorous fieldwork - ranging from national forest carbon monitoring with the FRTC to leading grant-funded wildlife research in Shuklaphanta National Park. I specialize in translating complex ecological data into actionable outcomes, providing high-level expertise in LULC mapping, community forest planning, and technical EIA/IEE support for NGOs and engineering firms across Nepal.

Every engagement ends with something usable in hand — a survey, a map, a plan, a dataset.
GIS Mapping & Spatial Modeling
Production of high-accuracy thematic maps, detailed watershed delineations, and digital terrain models tailored explicitly to institutional research requirements and technical project reporting.
Forest Inventory & Operational Plan Preparation
Field execution of comprehensive resource inventories alongside the technical data compilation, boundary zoning, and text writing required for sustainable community forest operational plans.
EIA/IEE Field Support & Baseline Studies
Field delivery of rigorous environmental baseline data collection, systemized vegetation sampling, botanical species identification, and socioeconomic surveys for major national infrastructure projects.
What I Bring to the Field, And Where It Counts
Each skill here exists to answer one question — how do you measure, map, and protect a forest that's always changing?
Socio-Ecological Survey Methodologies
Applied expertise in administering structured socioeconomic household surveys, analyzing community-based resource usage, and executing specialized ornithological field data collection techniques.
- Socioeconomic Surveys
- Community Forestry
Ecological & Habitat Assessments
Advanced capacity to design systematic wildlife habitat monitoring protocols, evaluate critical land-use pressures, and map threats to endangered species within protected areas.
- Wildlife Monitoring
- Threat Mapping
Data Analytics & Digital Workflows
Proficiency in utilizing analytical tools like R-programming alongside advanced AI prompt engineering to accelerate data processing, automate statistical modeling, and streamline technical reporting

- AI & Prompt Engineering
What I've Studied, And Why It Couldn't Wait
Every project here started with an urgent question about a species, a landscape, or a resource under pressure.
Habitat Assessment and threats to critically endangered Bengal Florican in Shuklaphanta National Park
Lead ResearcherMapped habitats using GPS and Kernel density, sampled vegetation diversity, and applied Pearson correlations to isolate drivers of a 90% population decline.
Public perception on urban forestry and willingness to pay for urban tree management in Kathmandu Metropolitan city
Lead ResearcherEvaluated public perceptions and willingness to pay for Kathmandu's urban forestry by surveying 110 respondents and analyzing demographic influences on sustainable municipal management.
Other Effective Area-Based Conservation Measures (OECM) Socio-Ecological Study
Research AssistantCo-designed methodology, established plots across six community forests in Barandabhar Corridor, conducted household surveys, and built an integrated socio-ecological governance dataset.
Assessment of Tree Outside Forest in Madhesh Province
Research InternMapped trees outside forests using Collect Earth Online, conducted fieldwork in three districts, managed QA/QC pipelines, and supported national carbon accounting frameworks.
People Who've Seen the Work, In the Field and on the Page
Faculty and supervisors who can speak to how I work, not just what I've listed here.
What Fieldwork Have I Done, And What It Taught Me
Skills you can't learn from a textbook — only from being on the ground, plot after plot.
