The proposed mass relocation of Maharashtra’s #leopards to #Vantara may address rising conflict, but real conservation is about coexistence, transparency, & community action than shifting numbers. Such knee-jerk reaction to a decades old problem can’t certainly be only solution.

Glimpse from time at #Asilomar. Kelps really does always have me fascinated!

Exciting News! I was featured in Mid-Day’s Daily Mumbai’s Dossier column yesterday for my work in marine communications! This column gives a fun peek into the lives of #Mumbaikars who are making waves (literally, in my case). From work to quirks, it covers everything in a rapid-fire style. #Ocean

I’m thrilled to share that joining the UNESCO IOC’s @unoceandecade.bsky.social Strategic Communications Group for the next two years! I’m excited to work with an incredible team of communicators to support the Decade Actions and help advance the science we need for the #Ocean we want.

Octopuses are incredibly intelligent, known for their surprising behaviors—like striking fish! Scientists believe this could be for dominance, hunting coordination, or reclaiming food. Their world remains full of mysteries. Video credit: Fritz Mihelcic #Octopus #MarineBiology #OceanLife #SeaLife

The High Seas Treaty, a historic agreement to protect marine biodiversity and establish equity in ocean resource use. Attending the South Asia Regional Workshop for #BBNJ deepened my understanding of the treaty and its policy intricacies.

We organised a treaty explainer and your pledge board at LCOY India was a standout moment, inspiring conversations about ocean conservation. #HighSeas #Ocean #Youth #Policy

A year ago, I joined @highseasalliance.bsky.social & EarthEcho as an ambassador, and the experience has been transformative. From connecting with conservationists like Asha De Vos to leading a campaign that reached 5K young people and over million impressions, it’s been a journey of growth & impact.

I was inspired by the youth delegation from Sustainable Ocean Alliance & strengthened connections with colleagues like Bodhi Patil and Lauren Gibson, who’ve supported my projects. #OceanCommunity

At the 9th Our Ocean Conference in Greece, meeting Dr. Sylvia Earle was unforgettable. Her words, “With every drop of water you drink, every breath you take, you’re connected to the ocean,” remain a powerful reminder of our responsibility to protect it. #OurOcean #Ocean #SylviaEarle

Found this absolutely heartbreaking clip of a mountain lion & 2 cubs seen on Topanga Canyon Blvd. running from fire. There’s no easy way to say this: If you see a scared animal in property, please be kind and avoid shooting. 🎥 ABC #CaliforniaWildfires #LosAngelesFire #CaliforniaFires

There’s no easy way to say this: If you see a scared animal on your porch or property during the California wildfires, please be kind. They are fleeing for their lives and need compassion. www.newsweek.com/california-w... #CaliforniaWildfires #Wildfire

New friendships, unexpected joys, and moments of pride reminded me why stepping out of my comfort zone was worth it. As social media floods with highlight reels, I just want to say—it’s okay if your year felt more like holding on than soaring high.

2024 was anything but smooth. There were moments of laughter, fun and adventure, but also tears and exhaustion—calls home, sleepless nights, and quiet struggles in unfamiliar places. But through it all, there were victories, big and small.

My absolute favourite Whalefall sighting by Nautilus EV. The commentary by geeky scientists and explorers is unmissable. When a whale dies and sinks to the ocean floor, it’s called a whale fall it’s like the ocean’s way of turning loss into life. #Whalefall #Ocean #Exploration

At LCOY 2024, I (with @highseasalliance.bsky.social) hosted a session where youth explored the High Seas Treaty, discussed ocean zones, and proposed fair solutions for ocean governance. Over 112 participants signed the Youth Pledge, inspiring action for a blue future. #HighSeasTreaty #India

Today passed swiftly as we immersed ourselves in the stories of the incredible, Dr Jane Goodall. She said,“Isn't it absurd that the most intellectual, us—though not necessarily the most intelligent—creature to ever walk this planet is slowly destroying its only home?” #Ocean #JaneGoodall

Today was a fun day hosting Dr Jane Goodall in Mumbai. Almost makes me believe in the hope for our blue planet #JaneGoodall

Today, amidst all the sweater weather and November gloom, I’m reminded of Mary Oliver. Her take on love and pain is truly out of the ordinary!

Kind reminder🪴 Policy change and collective action does bring a big change, but your one person sustainable choices make a difference too.

Something that kept me motivated to keep running this morning was this cute #cat mural. Why doesn’t every city really?

Hi Ocean Community, If you’re based in or travelling to Mumbai, here’s your chance to meet Dr Jane Goodall. DM me to RSVP :) #JaneGoodall

Two years ago, I made a series of climate memes about the ocean, a reminder of how crucial it is to elect leaders who will drive real change on climate issues—unless, of course, we want governments to keep running from the crisis! Don’t forget to #VoteForNature
