Our Team

We are a small but growing organization with both full-time staff and some part-time consultants. Our diverse team consists of people from different parts of India with a wide range of experiences (some stalwarts, some mid-career professionals, and some recent college graduates) and educational backgrounds. We enjoy looking at issues from multiple perspectives, but share a love for ecology, decentralized production systems, pastoralism, and wide-open spaces!

We are a flat, high energy organization with most of us working on multiple projects at any given time. Collaborations within the team and with partner organizations lie at the heart of our work and we look forward to partnering with those who share our cultural ethos and our passion for pastoralism.
