My academic interests stem from human impacts on wildlife and conservation strategies. In my Master’s Thesis, I studied road ecology to understand how human pressures amplify ecological threats, emphasising the need to keep terrestrial ecosystems as intact as possible. I am curious about understanding birds’ responses to habitat change and human activities, aiming to become a conservation-oriented bird ecologist. Therefore, I believe that long-term bird monitoring, like BRC, is vital for understanding global environmental changes and acting proactively.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b33912fb27e39bd89996b9d/3ce4263a-2352-4d24-8551-e169a5afa234/leyla-Web.jpeg News - Flyway Monitoring Trainees of 2025 - Leyla Muslim — Azerbaijan “Leyla is a birdwatcher and eco-guide from Azerbaijan with over seven years of experience in bird migration counts (as a team member of the Besh Barmag Bird Migration Count) and guiding.
