Hi. My name is Ramit Singal.

I am intrigued by the creatures with which we share our world, the complexities of nature, and the ways in which we communicate our joy and passion with others.

I believe in the potency of effective communication as a powerful tool for nature conservation.

I communicate my love for nature through guided wildlife tours, visual media, acoustics and the written word.

I grew up in Delhi (India), where my parents fostered my passion for the wilderness. We spent a lot of our holidays in the Himalayas and in the many natural reserves and wildlife sanctuaries around the Indian capital city. Later, I moved to Manipal (Karnataka, India) to pursue a degree in engineering. While my interest in engineering faded with every passing day, my love for birds and wildlife grew leaps and bounds in the stunning natural environs of south-western Karnataka. After finishing university, I worked on projects involving birds and frogs across the country before coming back to live in Manipal and treading a path that allowed me to spread the love for birds amongst others and work with citizen science initiatives.

Along the way, I met the (human) love of my life - and marrying her brought me to live in Tasmania (Australia). Now, I spend my days admiring the gorgeous landscapes and wildlife this beautiful island has to offer.

You can find my daily bird lists by checking out my eBird profile.

I upload all my audio and images to eBird/Macaulay Library.

I also try and contribute regularly to iNaturalist.

A number of people use Xeno-Canto, which is a platform that doesn’t quite fit my workflow. But it is a great site and I love it for its community and its philosophy on sharing. And so, I have tried harder to be more regular on the website. This is my profile on XC.

Some of the music I listen to can be found on Spotify.

I love driving and listening to podcasts while on the road. Amongst my favourites are 99 Percent Invisible, The Anthropocene Reviewed, and Conversations on ABC.
