Our Research Approach
Deshwal Lab studies wildlife behavior, inter-species interactions and the response of wildlife communities to anthropogenic disturbances and climate change.
Our research aims at establishing the mechanism behind the decline in wildlife populations to develop effective conservation tools. Thus, we work in prairies, urban, peri-urban, temperate deciduous forests using wide variety of tools such as Camera traps, Automated Recording Units, Telemetry, Satellite imagery. Our lab takes pride in using the latest gizmos and toys to explore our natural world.
We believe that conservation needs a holistic approach and thus along with rigorous scientific methods we also aim to integrate Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) in mainstream ecological research. TEK celebrates the knowledge of indigenous communities and works with them to develop a grassroots level conservation plan.
