I am an independent researcher studying the population ecology of Bonelli’s Eagles in Telangana for the past 15 years. Interested in state of raptor populations in the rapid changing landscapes of Telangana. I have a special interest in Open Natural Ecosystems (ONEs) and the amazing biodiversity they support. Trying to establish a nursery of native plants from the ONEs of Telangana on a piece of land close to Hyderabad – a patch of land that has been left to recover and restore.
