Anushka Rege, 2021 Navjot Sodhi Conservation Research Awardee

Congratulations to Anushka Rege on receiving the Navjot Sodhi award from the Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation (ATBC)!

Navjot Sodhi was my former FYP and Masters advisor and was very supportive of women in conservation science. In 2010, Priya Davidar, Madhu Rao and Navjot wrote a piece on empowering women in conservation. They emphasized the importance of building capacity for women in the conservation sciences. Thank you Anushka, for embarking on this PhD!
