My name is Manisha Bhardwaj and I am a wildlife ecologist, motivated to identify and mitigate the impacts of the built environment and human activity on wildlife. At present, I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Freiburg, where I am exploring the influence of human activity on ecological patterns, such as movement and habitat selection. From 2018 to 2021, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Grimsö Wildlife Research Station, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, developing novel techniques to reduce human-wildlife “conflicts” such as crop-damage and wildlife-vehicle collisions. I completed my PhD in 2018 at the University of Melbourne, in Australia, where I evaluated the impacts of roads on insectivorous bats.
