LOST IN THE CROWD. A wild specie once nearly threatened to be labeled as vulnerable speaks volumes about the habitat loss of Panthera fusca. The Indian leopards are know for their Territorial adaptability to an extent where now they share suburban spaces in the City of Mumbai. Did this complex coexistence cause the vulnerability? Or is it just another unheard story lost in the crowd?

THE SPACE CHOKE. Rapid and in-organic urbanization is celebrated as a symbol of progress. The price we pay for this celebration is the destruction of wild and yet, every pug-mark is recorded, every move of the wild is followed and every step is noted in the wild to stop the fatal encounters we called upon ourselves. I hope for a day where our footsteps demolishing the wild landscapes are tracked and acted upon.

Visual narrative type: Graphical signage. Bhutan, A Buddhist paradise in the eastern Himalayas is known for its flora, fauna and dramatical landscapes that range across subtropical plains, mountain ranges and valley. An ecological study specif to its wetland system was done as an urban design intervention. The above diagrams shown in the left graphically explains the terrain , Eco sensitive zones and wetland system Distributed across Thimphu. A dedicated wetland park was then proposed considering the nature of terrain ,water storage and retention systems. The above diagram is a graphical signage created for the wetland park in Thimphu.

INTRODUCTION: Human-wildlife conflict is defined as the negative interaction between the wild and Humans. Human-wildlife conflict is mainly caused due to the growing population which Overlaps, wildlife territories which in turn creates a loss in habitat, resources, and lives. ABSTRACT: The following research would be to analyze the problems that create human-wildlife Conflict and find a resolution to the same with an eco-sensitive architectural practice. The research array also thrives upon finding better on - ground translation of Conservation through architecture. HYPOTHESIS: Resolution of conflict between humans and wildlife through sensible architecture. To architecturally facilitate solutions to the forest department and also try to educate The electoral population about conservation and its importance. Substantially translate conservation practices and policies to on-ground solutions with Eco-sensitive architectural intervention.
