==Early life and work==
After obtaining a basic science degree from Yuvaraja's College, Mysore, Madhusudan did his post-graduation in wildlife biology from the [[Wildlife Institute of India]], [[Dehradun]].<ref name=whitley /> He worked on resource use in and around forests and its impact on large mammal conservation for his PhD thesis under the guidance of [[Anindya Sinha]].<ref name=profile>Profile from the Website of Nature Conservation Foundation [http://ncf-india.org LINK]</ref> He uncovered the links between [[coffee]] production in [[Brazil]] and patterns of cattle grazing and ownership in and around the forests of Bandipur.<ref name=dte /> He found that the global fall in coffee prices resulted in an increased demand for [[cow dung]] used as [[manure]] in coffee estates in several areas in the [[Nilgiris (mountains)|Nilgiris]] and [[Western Ghats]] resulting in a large-scale export of dung transforming it from a locally produced and locally consumed manure for village agriculture to a high-value organic fertilizer for commercial export to coffee plantations. Following the dung export, livestock numbers in the region increased, aggravating grazing pressures on the forests. This work challenged the prevalent notion that resource use for subsistence is distinguishable from and preferable to commercial resource use in the context of protected-area management in India.<ref name=coffee>Madhusudan, MD (2004) The Global Village: Linkages between International Coffee Markets and Grazing by Livestock in a South Indian Wildlife Reserve.

==Awards==
Madhusudan was conferred the [[Whitley Awards (UK)|Whitley Award]], popularly called ''Green Oscar'' in May 2009 in recognition of his work to reduce human-wildlife conflict in the Western Ghats.<ref name=whitley /><ref>Indian Wildlife Biologist wins 'Green Oscar' on Doordarshan News.
