Our research is primarily focused on various aspects of hornbill biology, frugivory and seed dispersal, tree phenology and ecological restoration in the tropical forests of North-eastern India, combined with community based conservation activities and nature education - in partnership with government and local community institutions.
KNOW MORENCF and the Snow Leopard Trust work together in India’s high altitudes, striving to help conserve the snow leopard – as well as the diversity of life & landscapes that this beautiful cat symbolizes – in a scientifically robust and socially responsible manner. We combine research, community involvement, conservation education, and policy-level dimensions.
KNOW MOREWe work in India’s oceanic islands and coasts to understand and support the resilience of coastal and marine ecosystems. Recognising the richness of nearshore ecosystems and their vital importance to coastal societies, we are dedicated to tracking how they respond to climate change and anthropogenic disturbances.
KNOW MOREA global biodiversity hotspot and one of the most irreplaceable areas for conservation, this region has a staggeringly high plant and animal diversity overlapping with a dense human population. Here, our work focuses on long-term wildlife and forest ecosystem research under a changing climate, ecological restoration, conservation outside protected reserves, and human-wildlife coexistence.
KNOW MOREThe connection that we as individuals have to nature arises primarily through first-hand contact with animals and plants; with some kind of wilderness. Can we help make these connections? Once made, can we help nurture and develop them? In this programme, we engage children and adults in ecological observation; and develop, display and distribute nature education material.
