Dr.
Nazneen Zehra
obtained her post-graduate degree in Wildlife Science in 2007 from the
Department of Wildlife Sciences, Faculty of Life Sciences, Aligarh Muslim
University. She enrolled herself in the Ph.D. program at the Department of
Wildlife Sciences and carried out fieldwork on the research topic titled “A
Study of Large Mammalian Prey Predators of Gir Lion Sanctuary with Special
Reference to Ecology of Leopard (Panthera pardus fusca)”. She
carried out fieldwork for more than 6 years in Gir National Park and Lion
Sanctuary for her Ph.D. program. She has the unique distinction of carrying out
field studies on Asia’s two most celebrated large cats i.e. Lion (Panthera
leo) and Leopard (Panthera pardus). She radio-collared two male
leopards and followed both collared males on foot often round the clock and has
the record of monitoring both males from close quarters (<15 m) for more
than 15,000 hours during the day and night times. She has published her
research work in national and international journals. She has authored a
reference book titled “Large Mammalian Prey Predators in Gir: Status,
Ecology & Conservation”. She has also edited a reference volume titled “The
Gir Leopard: Ecology, Management & Conservation” containing 9 chapters
on different aspects of the ecology of Leopard. She is currently working as Assistant
Professor of Biodiversity & Environmental Studies since September 2019.
Prior to the current assignment, she has worked as Research Associate in
Department of Science & Technology’s prestigious PURSE-II Program on the project titled” Ecology of large carnivores in selected protected areas of
India”. In her research carrier of 13 years, she has successfully worked and
completed research projects sponsored by the Department of Science &
Technology, GOI, Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change,
University Grants Commission in various capacities. She has recently
implemented a research project titled “Monitoring Structure, Functioning and
Ecosystem Services of Dry Tropical Forest Ecosystem of Gir for Conservation and
Management of ecosystem, Prey populations and Predators” funded by the Ministry
of Environment, Forests & Climate Change with funding of >53 Lakhs.
Currently, Dr. Zehra is writing two manuscripts titled “Biodiversity Values
of the Aligarh Muslim University” and “Biodiversity Resources of Aligarh
Region”. Dr. Zehra has specialized in advanced quantitative techniques and
she works with ease as an animal and plant ecologist. She has special interests in the application of multivariate bio-statistical tools and procedures and is well
versed with various statistical software. She has diverse research interests
but the prime focus is on the ecology of large carnivores with a prime focus on using
science for resolving large carnivore-human conflict which is currently
plaguing all major protected areas of India. Dr. Zehra has sought funding to
initiate biodiversity assessment of Suhagibarwa and Suhelwa Wildlife Sanctuaries
and she intends to expand such assessment firstly in Uttar Pradesh and later in
adjoining other states. Currently, Dr. Zehra is guiding two post-graduate
students for their master's dissertations.
