Hello and welcome to my website

My name is Ashutosh Upadhyay, and I am a Plant Biologist by training. I recently worked at the Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI) as a Senior Program Manager in the Environmental Health domain.

I have worked on research projects involving floristic studies in various forest types, taxonomic revision, ethnobotany, conservation of threatened flora and fauna, species protection, habitat conservation, and human-wildlife conflict mitigation in India at both government and non-government institutions.

I have extensive training in Project and Program Management, Natural Resource Management, Corporate Social responsibility, Data analysis and reporting, Species identification, Plant nomenclature, Angiosperm Taxonomy, Ethnobotany, Bioinformatics, Phyloinformatics, Scientific writing, Landscaping, and Mushroom cultivation.
