His work highlights the realities of communities living in one of the world's most climate-vulnerable mountain regions, home to the largest concentration of glaciers outside the polar areas. He reports on climate change, glacier retreat, natural disasters, biodiversity, wildlife conservation, water resources, and the social and economic impacts of environmental change. In addition to environmental journalism, he covers human-interest stories, culture, heritage, social issues, and community resilience, giving a voice to underrepresented people and remote mountain communities.
