A Better Tomorrow
Stories, Practices, and Solutions
Environmental DNA (eDNA) is transforming how scientists monitor biodiversity and ecosystem health by detecting genetic traces left by organisms in their environment. It offers a non-invasive, efficient way to track species, study climate impacts, and support conservation efforts.
The long standing balance between sparrows and humans is shifting
Nature sustains more than livelihoods, it nurtures identity, culture and well-being through Cultural Ecosystem Services. Acknowledging these connections is vital for development that respects communities and their landscapes.
In our Must Watch – From the Archives collection, we revisit powerful films that chronicle 32 years of transformation. These stories capture the resilience of rural communities, the strength of collective action and the quiet yet lasting change that numbers alone can’t express.
Across India, disasters are no longer singular events but a polycrisis—where climate extremes, ecological degradation, water stress, and livelihood insecurity interact and amplify one another
Read a collection blogs which brings together five stories from WOTR’s blog, shaped by the everyday lives, struggles, and choices of people in rural India. Told from the ground up, these pieces reflect moments of resilience, learning, and collective effort around water, livelihoods, and social change.
The growing use of synthetic and glass-coated kite thread, commonly known as manjha, has turned a leisure activity into a serious public safety and environmental issue
Environmental awareness has never been higher, yet climate-damaging behaviour continues unchecked. This blog examines the growing green disconnect.
View a curated selection of five WOTR films that we believe are a must watch for anyone interested in community-led development, water security, women’s empowerment, and long-term resilience.
