Mirali Shukla: Expedition Palawan

PHILIPPINES

Mirali's expedition set out to investigate vulnerabilities in the socio-ecological systems of Palawan. Its objectives were to highlight the overlooked impact of in-migration on ecosystem carrying capacity and to get an accurate abundance estimate for a small, Critically Endangered subpopulation of Irrawaddy dolphins. The research from this expedition will offer baseline data for informed decision-making and future conservation efforts amidst the fast-changing realities of in-migration, species movement, and climate shifts.

Supported by family and friends of Elodie Sandford.
