SHOLA SKY ISLANDS

Amrutha Rajan

​PROJECT STUDENT

RESEARCH INTERESTS

​My passion for wildlife started at an early age. I grew up in the southern Western Ghats, right next to one of India’s most prominent tiger reserves - Periyar Tiger Reserve.  This opportunity of observing the spectacular diversity of ecosystems and its flora and fauna made me curious about nature. I am always keen to watch birds and their activities, which motivated myself to start a career in the field of Ornithology. Later this influenced me to watch and explore other creatures too. My research interests broadly include behavioural ecology, physiology, landscape ecology, conservation biology, Bioacoustics.

​Currently, I am working on bioacoustics and exploring various techniques using  automated recorders which helps to monitor the endangered, endemic Forest Owlet. I am also interested to explore the biogeographical vocal variations of bird species within populations.

Projects Involved: Forest Owlet
PERSONAL AND OTHER INTERESTS

I enjoy spending my free time capturing beautiful landscape views, birds, insects and mammals. Recently I have started making documentary films. Travelling has always been a part of my life as a nature explorer. I love hiking, birding and recording bird calls. Yoga and practicing martial arts are part of my daily routine. I do dancing to make my soul graceful.
