Thomas Samuel Moloppomannil

Samuel Thomas is Senior Communications Officer for ICIMOD’s work on Resilient Economies and Landscapes.

He brings to this position a wealth of experience gained over two decades in two biodiversity hotspots in South Asia – the Himalaya, and the Western Ghats in peninsular India.

Samuel has a master’s degree in English Language and Literature but chose the conservation sector because of his lifelong passion for biodiversity and community-led conservation, starting out with IUCN – The World Conservation Union in Nepal, and later with the Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment and WWF in India, before returning to Nepal to join ICIMOD.
