The Global South is being asked to shoulder the world’s nature and climate ambitions while global finance continues to move decisively in the opposite direction.
A Better Tomorrow
Stories, Practices, and Solutions
Read how ecohydrology provides the scientific foundation needed to link ecosystem restoration with reliable water outcomes.
Ecosystem integrity is a holistic approach to conservation that considers the wholeness of entire landscapes and ecosystems rather than focusing solely on individual species or resources
Kusava Goswami, her mother-in-law Dhapubai, and Ambalal Gameti – a Wasundhara Sewak recognised the urgency to transition their community towards organic agriculture.
WOTR’s journey towards EbA began with its extensive experience in watershed development. This approach now recognises that the well-being of both people and nature is inextricably linked.
Exploring village-based systems through Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) offers promising, sustainable solutions for the livestock sector.
A three-year project by WOTR and HDFC Bank Parivartan aims to uplift 11,700 people in 40 tribal villages of Gadchiroli through sustainable agriculture, water conservation, and livelihood development.
Soil erosion in Koriya, Chhattisgarh, threatens agriculture and infrastructure, requiring solutions like Loose Boulder Structures (LBS). LBS, a cost-effective method, controls erosion, conserves water, and supports local ecosystems.
Urbanization and water scarcity are escalating challenges, but often overlooked, urban wetlands, offer crucial solutions. These vibrant ecosystems, found within or near cities, provide vital environmental benefits.
Maharashtra, leads in implementing water harvesting initiatives, with over 99% of its 97,062 water bodies being artificial. W-CReS collaborated with ATE Chandra Foundation to assess the impact of rejuvenation of water bodies five years after implementation.
