I have been working in the Western Himalaya part of Pakistan with the WWF-Pakistan for the past 15 years. I have a MSc in Environmental Planing and Management and professional certification courses in Wildlife Management, Environmental leadership and Stable Isotope analysis of biological material. I have been engaged in human-leopard conflict management in Pakistan since July 2005, when a leopard became a “man-eater” and attacked and killed six women in the western Himalaya forest for the first time in the history of Pakistan. Over the years, I have not only been engaged in the field research and conservation of big cats, but have also supervised a number of students and have facilitated research projects in historic habitats of leopards in Pakistan and in Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
