Research interests
My research interests are centered on sustainable ecosystem management and climate resilience. He focuses on understanding the drivers of deforestationvegetation dynamics in arid rangelandsand the impact of pastoral settlements on biodiversity. A proponent of integrating local wisdom with scientific methodshis work explores "Traditional Ecological Knowledge" (TEK) to monitor rangeland health. AdditionallyI investigates carbon sequestration in urban parks and the socio-economic implications of climate change on rural and pastoral communities. Through My numerous publications in high-impact journalsI continue to advance strategies for Rangeland Rehabilitation and sustainable livestock economies in southern Punjab and beyond.
