Documentation of an initiative focused on sustainable wild honey-hunting practices for preserving the high-altitude rangelands, and wetlands of the Hindu Kush Himalayas.

Science Script is my personal project focused on making complex scientific research easier to understand and exploring intricate science topics for a broader audience.

Authored and contributed an insightful article on the lesser-known Himalayan bee species to the January 2024 print subscription of Bee Culture Magazine, a leading publication in the beekeeping industry. This article aimed to raise awareness and spread knowledge about these unique pollinators among beekeeping enthusiasts, shedding light on their behaviors, habitats, and conservation challenges to foster a deeper understanding of their ecological significance.

As a contributor to the Pollinators Pathway Project, I authored a piece focusing on the high-altitude bee species Apis laboriosa. Passionate about raising awareness about pollinators, I volunteered my time and expertise to produce valuable content for this important initiative.
