2. Forests and Climate Change Project in Western Ghats
This project was quoted in Nature as one of the biggest Citizen - Science projects ever conducted
I had the pleasure of leading the Scientific Research project on ‘Sustainable Forest Management in a Changing Climate’ at Sirsi in Western Ghats. The highlight of this project was the citizen science element. This project was quoted in Nature – International Weekly Journal of Research, as one of the biggest citizen-science projects ever conducted. Citizen Scientists made an important input to my scientific research programme. This was a valuable contribution to my research work in Western Ghats, Forestry, Climate Action and Ecosystem Services..
