Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment (ATREE) is a globally recognised non-profit organisation focused on environmental conservation and sustainable, socially just development. ATREE engages in the generation and dissemination of rigorous interdisciplinary knowledge that informs and is informed by the needs of grassroots communities, policymakers and the wider public. It prioritises capacity-building for producing the next generation of scholars and leaders.
Researchers at ATREE are at the forefront of exploring, documenting and conserving the flora and fauna from the diverse landscapes of India. Over the years, we have discovered more than 100 new species across the country.
ATREE’s focus on restoration seeks to reverse ecosystem degradation in a manner most suitable to the local ecologies of landscapes and the needs of their people and biodiversity.
Climate adaptation addresses the impacts and helps build community resilience to such climate change. We focus on capacity building and knowledge sharing, working with local communities to systematically improve their response to these changes.
In India, communities have historically managed different ecosystems and we believe that community use of traditional resources like NTFP and grazing routines are customary and sustainable.
