Bhuvan has been active in the conservation space since 2020. He has been instrumental in saving many parcels of forest land from encroachment. Bhuvan monitors wildlife and bird populations, including with the use of camera traps from a base in Kanthavara Forest Basecamp

Since Oct 2023 Bhuvan has conducted educational Study tours for over 1,100 students and visitors to the basecamp

1. Broken Forest - Study Tour
2. Science of Laudato Si - Study Tour
3. Bamboo farming and applications - Study tour

Bhuvan is also a member of national conservation organization's such as Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS)

Using Kanthavara as his base Bhuvan is involved in the Aranya Mala initiative which envisages connecting several protected areas in the region to each other and further on to Kudremukh National Park by getting heavily wooded government lands between reserve forests notified as 'Conservation Reserves' and thereby affording wildlife a safe corridor for movement between forests. Fragmentation of forests and wild spaces has led to a dramatic loss of bio-diversity which in turn undermines the bio-physical foundations of modern civilization. Bhuvan works in consultation with stalwarts in the field of conservation and also with several young interns and volunteers.
