Not for the Bird-Brained!

Garima Bhatia

Garima (B.Tech. '95 ChE H10) is a chemical engineer by training and a nature lover by passion. She currently works for an NGO called Nature Conservation Foundation where she leads a project called Early Bird which aims to introduce children to birds and nature. She enjoys birdwatching and photography and is a compulsive traveler. She has traveled within India from Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh, and Kashmir to Nicobar islands in pursuit of birds. Her photographs of birds have been published in several books and magazines, and she herself has co-authored two field guides to birds of the Indian subcontinent. When not birding or traveling, she spends her time worrying about waste management. She blogs infrequently at bonerpakhi.wordpress.com
