Pakgam Ngulom Lendo, a PhD research scholar at FRLH Herbarium, TDU Bengaluru. I belong to the Galo tribe of Lower Siang district, Arunachal Pradesh, Northeast India.
Her research interests lie in plant systematics, ethnobotany and biodiversity documentation, with a focus on the Eastern Himalayan flora.
Beside plants, I have a keen interest in trekking, butterflies and love travelling, especially to the mountains. I believe that understanding and documenting biodiversity is one of the most meaningful contributions a biologist can make.
