About Arun Mishra
In 2007, Arun Mishra spent 18 months living in a repurposed forest department watchtower near Ranthambore, tracking tiger movement patterns using hand-drawn transects and locally calibrated camera traps, long before satellite telemetry became standard. He co-developed the 'Habitat Fragmentation Index for Dry Deciduous Forests', now embedded in India’s National Wildlife Action Plan to assess corridor viability for leopards and sloth bears. His field notes, filled with sketches of dung decay rates, monsoon soil moisture gradients, and interviews with Baiga tribal trackers, form the empirical backbone of three peer-reviewed models predicting how road expansion reshapes small-mammal seed dispersal. Arun doesn’t speak in abstractions: he measures biodiversity loss in centimeters of topsoil erosion, in the shifting flowering phenology of dhak trees, in the silence where langur alarm calls used to echo across degraded scrubland.
