Expertise

Conservationist

Ashok Biswal

HCL Foundation

I’m a nature photographer, ecology catalyst, specialist in habitat restoration, and a conservationist. I’ve travelled widely across eastern and central India in my pursuit of knowledge of riverine forests and wetlands. I’ve also been documenting the lesser-known wild aquatic natural resources, and have authored five books, all focusing on lesser-known wild resources. 

For over a decade, I’ve been involved in negotiating governmental affairs and policy while creating and managing programs for the conservation of forests, rivers, and wetlands.
