Amit's research asks who gets to count as worth protecting, and who gets treated as a pest, a competitor, or simply invisible, where caste hierarchy and conservation science meet in India's wildlife landscapes. His dissertation traces this question through tiger reintroduction in Central India, where it reshapes relationships among conservation officials, pastoralist and caste communities, and wildlife, including wolves. He is the founder of the Wolf Conservation Initiative and communicates this work through ethnography, film, and participatory media alongside academic writing.
