Kundan Deval

About

Interdisciplinary environmental scientist with expertise in climate-resilient landscape planning, ecosystem restoration, Nature-based Solutions (NbS), ecosystem services, and spatial ecology. My research integrates ecological field investigations, GIS and remote sensing, quantitative analysis, and socio-ecological assessments to develop evidence-based strategies for climate adaptation, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable land management. Through NIDM, the Rajasthan Forest Department, and a JICA-supported forestry programme, I have strengthened my expertise at the science–policy–practice interface through policy research, capacity development, technical advisory support, and stakeholder engagement.
