The Centre’s primary work is to build a repository of knowledge concerning India’s biodiversity, ecosystem functions and ecosystem services through concerted exploration and assessment of every ecosystem type within the country.
Our faculty is as diverse as India’s landscapes, bringing together a range of interdisciplinary knowledge and research methodologies, as well as galvanizing awareness and encouraging community and social support for conservation.
We hope to detangle the complex web of social, political, economic and environmental change, as well as the reasons and impact of these changes on biodiversity and local communities.
This programme seeks to document, monitor, and conserve India’s biodiversity
through field explorations and integrative taxonomy. The programme aims to build a deeper understanding of biodiversity and the effect of threats such as climate change and large-scale development with an overarching goal to support biodiversity conservation and restoration efforts in India.
This programme seeks to explore, understand and communicate the complexity of these services and their relationship to our well-being, their co-production and their implications for environmental justice and sustainable ecosystems.
The programme was set up to explore, research and monitor urban biodiversity and its distribution in human dominated landscapes, while assessing ecosystem processes and services.
