Khyber Nature Society believes conservation should be supported by both local knowledge and scientific evidence.
Our research focus includes wildlife and habitat surveys, biodiversity documentation, human-wildlife conflict studies, spatial ecology, camera trapping, thermal drone-based monitoring, conservation genetics, biological sample preservation, and student research support. As Khyber Nature Society grows, this section will include reports, field notes, publications, survey summaries, and research updates.
