About Me
My Name is Nihal Pathuri.
I am a student leader, researcher, and environmental advocate dedicated to bridging the gap between human progress and nature’s survival. My journey is driven by a deep care for animals and the environment, which I put into action through diverse leadership and volunteer roles.
As the Director of Advocacy for SDG Champions, I lead community service initiatives including environmental advocacy, cleanups, and food drives. My commitment to wildlife is hands-on; I serve as an Animal Care and Exhibit Steward at the Heard Museum, where I help maintain exhibits and care for animals.
Through BiodiversityBridge.com, I am combining my scientific background with my leadership experience to show my community that sustainability is not just a global necessity—it’s a personal benefit that improves our health, our homes, and our future.

Mission
To bridge the gap between humans and nature. My goal is to help every neighbor grow native plants to lower their living costs and restore the balance of our local wildlife.

My Research
My research focus combines environmental history with modern ecological sustainability to better understand how our past informs our future. Evolutionary Ecosystems: I am currently developing a comprehensive, 4,000+ word research paper intended for high-impact publication. Scientific Depth: I am collaborating with a Immunology Subject Matter Expert and Creative Lab Writer to articulate the intricate science of fossilized melanosomes. Historical Biodiversity: This project explores palaeological ecosystems to provide a deeper understanding of how biodiversity has shifted over time.
