miniconda – gdal package is installed in conda environment: but can’t be imported in python

I installed the gdal package in gempy miniconda environment using conda install gdal. Later when I tried to import it in python 3.10 installed in conda environment, it showed ModuleNotFound error.

`(base) C:\Users\prabe>conda activate gempy
(gempy) C:\Users\prabe>python

(gempy) C:\Users\prabe>conda list gdal
