This is Sonu Kumar, I'm a nature enthusiast and a keen botanical observer with a special interest in studying and documenting the small flora and grasses of rocky habitats. I particularly fascinated by the discovery of uncommon species. Finding a new species record for a region serves as a strong source of inspiration and excitement for me. Currently I'm working as a district coordinator kota at BRDS society India.
