Since then he has carried out surveys and intensive fieldwork on pheasants and partridges elsewhere in northern India, on Palawan in the Philippines, southwest China and in Malaysia. He compiled IUCN Action Plans for three groups of Galliformes and is now the Conservation Director of the World Pheasant Association.
