Prof. S P Singh is a renowned Mountain Ecologist who pioneered ecological studies on Himalayan vegetation with major emphasis on forest ecosystem processes and on the application of ecology to the solution of environmental problems. He obtained his PhD in Botany from Agra University (UP). More recently, he has been involved with research on climate change impacts on Himalayan biodiversity. He was conferred as Fellow of Indian National Science Academy (FNA); Fellow of National Academy of Science, India; Courtesy Professor, Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, Oregon State University, Corvallis, USA; Dr Birbal Sahni Medal of 2003, and Honoured with Uttarakhand Ratna Award by Govt. of Uttarakhand for his outstanding contribution in the field of education and research. He served as Chair of Excellence in Biodiversity and Ecology at Forest Research Institute, Dehradun, Uttarakhand; Advisor, Planning Commission, Uttarakhand; Vice-Chancellor, HNB Garhwal University, Srinagar-Garhwal, Uttarakhand; and Professor and Head, Department of Botany, Kumaun University, Nainital  Uttarakhand. During his 37 years of teaching and research, he supervised 35 PhD and published more than 180 research papers.


Prof. Zafar A. Reshi is a well-known ecologist who holds a PhD degree in Botany and is currently serving as a Professor of Botany at the University of Kashmir, Jammu & Kashmir, India. He has over three decades of experience working on northwest Himalayan biodiversity and has contributed significantly to the understanding of the causes and consequences of plant invasions in Kashmir Himalaya, species distributions under changing climate and biotic interactions in community assembly. He has held various key positions at the University of Kashmir such as Dean of Research, Registrar, Head of Department, and Honorary Director, Centre of Plant Taxonomy and Biodiversity. He is a Fellow of the National Institute of Ecology and an expert member on various
