AI for Coexistence, mitigating human-wildlife conflicts

We are developing AI + sensory tools to predict and mitigate human-wildlife conflicts in Western Ghats

Monkeys in Wayanad district of Kerala state, Western Ghats of India.

Human-wildlife conflict / Zoonoses

Human-wildlife conflict in Western Ghats

Using surveys and animal observations, we understand the nature of human-wildlife conflcits

Global change ecology / Zoonoses

Geology's role in zoonoses outbreaks

Rocky geological formations helps rock hyrax invasion and the spread of Leishmaniasis

Human-wildlife conflict / SES modeling

Social-ecological simulation on indigenous sustainability

We model SES feedbacks using Agent-based modeling computational simulation with extensive field datasets

Global change ecology

Feather isotope tells where migrants come from in Africa

Migration routes from Africa to Europe can be determined by the feather isotopes collected in Israel

Camera trap image of boars in Negev desert in Israel

Global change ecology

Cascading effects of dryland agriculture on animals

We show how animal community in desert responds to dryland agriculture

Optimization / Global change ecology

Sea-level rise impacts on migratory flyways in the eastern Pacific

We used graph theory to reveal the impacts of sea-level rise on migratory birds via flyway population decline

Global change ecology / Optimization

Global biodiversity in warming world

Global warming and extreme heatwave impacts on global diversity and how to allocate resource.

Agricultural rent and cost of conservation

We estimated global agricultural rent to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of conservation investments
