Abhishek is a biodiversity educator and field practitioner who works through an interpretation/information centre and an outreach programme to help students and communities recognise local species and understand the “web of life”. With a hands-on, field-heavy approach, he uses pocket guides, nature walks, species ID practice, and playful learning tools to build ecological literacy. He also supports citizen-science style learning (including camera-trap based wildlife monitoring) and works with schools and teachers to strengthen local nature awareness and conservation-minded behaviours.
