About The Grasslands Trust
We are a registered charitable trust based in Pune, committed to conserving the rich biodiversity of open natural ecosystems, in harmony with local communities and the climate.
What We Do
Our core activities focus on designing and implementing biodiversity conservation programs using the latest technology, restoring open natural ecosystems to benefit both wildlife and local communities, and producing conservation films to raise awareness of critical environmental issues. We work in close collaboration with government agencies to drive meaningful on-ground action. A key element of our sustainable conservation efforts is engaging with nomadic shepherds, traditional hunters, and farmers to promote community-led conservation initiatives.
Who We Are
We are a diverse team of wildlife professionals and enthusiasts, brought together by a shared passion for environmental conservation. Our team spans over various fields, united in our commitment to preserving nature. We focus on exploring, documenting, and studying the often-overlooked open natural ecosystems of the Deccan Plateau, and developing sustainable conservation models to protect them.
Donors & Collaborators
Support from donors, along with collaboration with local NGOs and research organizations, helps us increase our team strength, local reach, and scientific expertise, enabling us to take on projects with a bigger impact on conservation.
