Jeyasubashini R is an active environmentalist with research expertise in wildlife biology and forestry. She holds a postgraduate degree (M.Sc.) in Environmental Sciences with a specialization in Environmental Ecology from Bharathiar University, Coimbatore. Her research interests span wildlife ecology, conservation biology, and ecotoxicology, with a strong inclination toward studying ecological interactions and human-animal conflicts in both forest and urban ecosystems. She is currently pursuing her PhD at The University of Trans-Disciplinary Health Sciences and Technology (TDU), Bangalore, focusing on ecosystem health assessment, conservation biology, and human-wildlife interactions. Her work integrates community perspectives into conservation research, emphasizing the role of local knowledge in shaping sustainable solutions. She also studies soil and water quality, pollution dynamics, and biodiversity patterns to understand environmental impacts. Passionate about wildlife conservation and environmental sustainability, she actively engages in awareness programs and science communication, striving to develop practical, science-driven strategies that balance ecological preservation and community well-being.
Spending all my life in and around the biodiversity-rich Western Ghats, I have always loved animals and felt a deep connection to nature. From an early age, I was fascinated by wildlife and their habitats, which fueled my passion for understanding and conserving them. Forests have always been my source of happiness, and my desire to protect them led me to pursue a career in environmental research and wildlife conservation. As I ventured into the field, my curiosity expanded beyond just observing wildlife—I became deeply interested in studying ecological interactions, habitat dynamics, and the growing challenges of human-wildlife coexistence. This passion has shaped my academic journey, driving me to explore scientific approaches to conservation biology, ecosystem health, and environmental sustainability. With every research endeavor, I aim to contribute to wildlife protection, habitat restoration, and creating a balance between nature and human communities.
