We collaborate with other institutes in India and abroad and engage with policy makers as well as grassroots stakeholders through awareness campaigns, workshop and seminars.
Our diverse team continue to make substantial contributions in wildlife biology and conservation, natural resources management and in education and skill building in these and allied areas. Our approach to addressing real world ecological issues is to use data driven ecological research, combined with use of the latest technological advancements. The bulk of our projects engage with local communities and stakeholders as partners in research and development.
