Samakshi Tiwari’s passion for birds and ecosystems has

shaped her journey as a dedicated researcher. Her formal

research began in Dehradun’s urban green spaces, where she

studied local birdlife, before contributing to the Black Kite

Project. Her next adventure led her to the Reintroduction of Cheer Pheasants Program in Himachal Pradesh, where she

worked for a couple of years. She also worked on the

Mangrove Monitoring in India project under CIFOR-ICRAF,

where she explores the rich mangrove ecosystems along

India’s coastlines. She has recently joined the Bird Monitoring

Group, Nature Conservation Foundation as a Project

Coordinator. Her devotion to bird conservation and

environmental research is both inspiring and impactful.
