I
started my career in tiger research with IUCN-Bangladesh back in 1998. Working
on the Sundarbans tiger ecology as my MSc dissertation, I published my
first book on the tiger in 2004. Other than my tiger book published by IUCN, I
authored several scientific papers in peer reviewed journals. I have
professional experience to work with IUCN for more than two years. Currently, I
hold an Assistant Professor position in Zoology Dept of Jahangirnagar
University, Bangladesh. I started my PhD in 2005 at Texas Tech University, USA
with focusing my research in Bangladesh. Other than tiger study, I have keen
interest on the herpetofauna of Bangladesh.

I am a wildlife biologist working on the tiger and
other wild animals of Bangladesh. He started working on the ecology and
conservation of tigers in the Sundarbans of Bangladesh from the year 2000 as
his PhD project from the University of Cambridge, UK. As a continuation of his
work, now he is working on the estimation of tiger density and trying to reduce
tiger-human conflict. Dr Khan is also involved with a few other wildlife
projects in Bangladesh. Professionally, he is a Lecturer of Zoology in
Jahangirnagar University of Bangladesh. Dr Khan is also a keen wildlife

I have been involved
in various aspects of the human-leopard conflict issue – basic research,
capacity building of the Forest Department and addressing policy related to
conflict. Most of my work has been in the western state of Maharashtra, India. Eventually
I hope to address the human-leopard conflict issue at a national level, via
policy guidelines. I also was a member of the team that surveyed potential
sites for the re-introduction of the Asiatic Lion and I also conducted a survey
for the Clouded leopard in north-east India. I obtained a Masters degree in
Biology from the University of Iowa, USA. I am currently involved in a project
that will use DNA to identify individual leopards following conflict incidents.

I started my career as a conservation biologist
twenty years ago with pioneering research on the ecology of snow leopard
and its prey species in the Ladakh mountains as part of my Ph. D.
degree. Since then I have been involved intimately in the conservation of
wildlife of high altitudes in the Himalayan and recently the central Asian
mountains. For ten years I was a member of the teaching faculty of India’s
premier research and training institute, the Wildlife Institute of India. I am
very closely involved with tiger conservation and recently completed a
ten-year study on ecology of tiger and its major prey in the Dry Forests of Panna
National Park in central India.

I initiated pioneering field
research on free-ranging large mammals in India by studying dholes (Cuon alpinus) in Bandipur Tiger Reserve
in Karnataka in 1976-78 for my Ph.D. One of the key findings of this study was
resource partitioning among dholes, leopard (Panthera pardus) and tiger (P. tigris). I have guided a Ph.D student to study Asiatic lion
(Panthera leo persica) in Gir forest,
was part of a team which identified a potential second home for Asiatic lion in
Central India and have led a team which surveyed the tiger habitats in the
foot-hills of Himalaya and came up with a vision document for saving the tiger
in this important landscape.

My chief interst lies in the ecology of small cats. I
have studied the jungle cat, fishing cat, caracal and rusty-spotted
cat in varying degrees. Most of my field experience has been in the western
arid/semi-arid parts of Inida. In the laboratory I standardized techniques to
study large-carnivore diet and looked at global body-size variation in jungle
cats through skull morphometry. Currently I am exploring the utility
of non-invasive DNA analysis to study small-carnivore ecology and
phylogepgraphy. I am also involved in a project that aims to create a DNA
database for leopards in Mumbai to help managers resolve human-lepopard
conflict.

and Tsushima leopard cat, Prionailurus

of the two subspecies, our research team includes researchers of other
Universities studying ecology and genetics, and veterinary aspects. As both
cats live on a small island and in small populations (ca. 100 inds. each), we
also conduct conservation studies and can advise the national and local
government concerned.

2005
Previously I worked in wildlife conservation in
Alaska, Zimbabwe and Botswana, concerning issues of critical habitat and
wildlife ecotourism. I first became involved with cats in Botswana,
carrying out monitoring and behavioral research on lions before moving
to Mongolia to initiate research on Pallas cats, where I am
currently based. Consistent through my work are themes of spatial ecology for
conservation purposes. I employ Distance techniques, sign and trapping to understand
prey and sympatric carnivore densities and interview to understand the human
issues in conservation. GIS forms a large part of my work, helping to glue the
data together.
