Dr. Paras Bikram Singh is a conservation ecologist with more than 18 years of experience in wildlife research, protected area management, and community-based conservation across the Nepal Himalayas. He leads science-based conservation programmes focused on snow leopards, Royal Bengal tigers, musk deer, pheasants, red pandas, vultures, and other threatened wildlife.
Dr. Singh holds a PhD in Ecology from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences and completed his postdoctoral research at the Institute of Zoology, Guangdong Academy of Sciences. Before returning to lead conservation initiatives in Nepal, he served for six years as a Conservation Officer with the National Trust for Nature Conservation (NTNC). His work combined wildlife research with protected area management, human–wildlife conflict mitigation, community development, conservation education, and ecotourism.
His research spans wildlife ecology, animal behaviour, climate change, habitat modelling, and Himalayan biodiversity. He is particularly recognized for his long-term research on Himalayan and Kashmir musk deer. His work helped confirm the occurrence of the endangered Kashmir musk deer in Nepal and has advanced understanding of musk deer habitat ecology, latrine behaviour, climate refugia, and future distributions under climate change.
His broader research includes snow leopards, common leopards, Himalayan birds and pheasants, red pandas, mountain forests, and high-altitude ecosystems. His research has been published in leading international journals, including Nature Communications, Scientific Reports, Ecology and Evolution, Landscape Ecology, and Global Ecology and Conservation.
