Bibek Raj Shrestha is an Applied Ecologist. He is a graduate of International Masters in Applied Ecology (IMAE), under a European Union-funded Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EMJMD) from University of East Anglia (UEA), UK, European Consortium (University of Poitiers, France and Kiel University, Germany) and Universidad San Francisco de Quito (USFQ), Ecuador.  His current interest lies in studying the landscape, movement ecology, and conducting spatial research to answer ecological questions with an underlying focus on conservation. He has recently joined an expedition in studying Snow Leopard in Shey-Phoksundo National Park in Dolpo with the government and WWF Nepal. He feels thrilled to have worked on tigers in the jungles of Parsa to the critically endangered turtles of Cambodia.

Recently, he has found a new love for running, composting, and discovering melodies in Basuri. He cycles often, writes sometimes, and enjoys taking photographs along.
