Techniques of Measurement and Evaluation

Raj Singh was born in Bharatpur, near the Keoladeo Ghana National Park, one of the finest birdwatching areas in the world. It is thus not surprising that he early on developed an interest in birds and natural history. He obtained his BSc and LLB from the University of Rajasthan in Jaipur, but his expertise soon led to him guiding others in their ornithological visits to India. His own explorations and tours have taken him all over the country. Raj Singh now lives together with his wife and their young son in Oxford but he spends much of his time back in India running Exotic Journeys/Indian Experience, his tour operating business, and occasionally still leading wildlife tours. He is heavily involved in local conservation projects in India into which he ploughs back some of the profits from his company. He is a Life Member of the Bombay Natural History Society and WWF India, and a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. He has also co-authored the popular A Field Guide to the Mammals of the Indian Subcontinent.
