About Me
Exploring Wildlife, Ecology & Coexistence Through Science
Hello and welcome! I’m Khushboo, a wildlife biologist and researcher passionate about exploring how animals adapt and survive in diverse and changing ecosystems.
My work has taken me from India’s arid grasslands to the open rangelands of Kenya — places where life thrives beyond boundaries. Through science and field exploration, I aim to uncover the ecological patterns that shape predator behavior and species interactions.
- Studying predator–prey dynamics and wildlife behavior.
- Understanding how species respond to habitat change.
- Contributing research that supports conservation action.
Cheetah Ecology
The Ecology of Cheetah in Rangelands of Northern Kenya
Cheetahs in northern Kenya increasingly rely on rangelands and conservancies where habitat fragmentation, shifting prey availability, and human activities influence their survival. While cheetah ecology is well-studied in national parks, little is known about fine-scale prey distribution, seasonal changes in prey density, or how habitat structure shapes prey selection in private and community lands like Loisaba and Mugie. Information on individual cheetahs, identity, movements, and morphological variation, also remains limited in these landscapes.
Research Projects
Wildlife Ecology & Conservation Initiatives
I am involved in long-term field research on cheetah ecology, human–wildlife conflict, bear behavior, and grassland restoration to protect biodiversity and support sustainable coexistence.
Collaborators
Support that making it all possible!
I have been fortunate to have received guidance and financial support from multiple organisations to conduct my research.
