In partnership with Manipal University, we offer PhD’s in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation. Currently, our program empowers 11 innovative students who are exploring a wide range of interdisciplinary topics — from the behavioral ecology of mammals, birds, amphibians, and reptiles, to the complex human dimensions of wildlife conservation. Their research enhances our understanding of biodiversity and contributes towards critical solutions towards wildlife conservation. We have supported 19 doctoral students and 11 students currently pursuing their doctorates. In 2024 we admitted 3 new students to our Doctoral Program!
